Are laser printers actually cheaper to run than refillable inkjet?

I refill my colour and black cartridge for very little because I buy the ink online and do it myself. I cannot do this with toner in a laser printer. The toner for a Samsung colour laser wireless printer is £30. What are you experiences? How many pages does a laser printer generally do before it needs more toner? I only print letters, essays, projects etc. with colour diagrams/pictures so I am not interested in photograph quality etc.

1. Yes it cheaper to run than refillable inkjet, but laser printers is more expensive. It can print 200 or more before you refill ink to the printer.
2. Yes. But not cheaper to buy.
3. Yes, I actually have almost always used laser printers for school and home. The toner for a laser printer does last a long time. I normally get about 1500 pages per cartridge for my printer. Although the cartridges cost 2x as much they are worth the money if you print a lot. Also not all laser printers are as expensive as people make them sound. The last laser priter I purchased was on sale for $50 new. Although that was a better than normal price, they are not hard to find for under $200.
