Hello,
I have a question regarding my printer, and I urgently need a new desk. I currently print 2–3 times a day. My toner is running low, and I found the correct toner at (Censored—no advertising). What should I pay attention to when buying toner? Are there specific specifications I should look for?
Additionally, I need the right desk. I would like a white one with a dedicated printer shelf so I can quickly access the printer, but it should not be in the way. Which model would you recommend? Thanks!

I believe we are all talking about the same desk, the Galant. I mentioned recently that I use a dual-monitor setup, with the second monitor placed on a monitor stand. The stand itself is sturdy and rests on rubber pads, but the elevation significantly amplifies any wobbling.
The actual cause of the instability lies in the desk’s structural design (thanks to my engineering studies). The desk construction is, as an expert would say, "statically indeterminate." As long as the corners of the rectangular frame are not connected by at least one cross brace (similar to a truss in a timber frame house), the entire structure remains unstable. You can think of it as a rectangle that deforms into a parallelogram under load. Some desks have a wide connecting beam between the legs that solves this problem, but those tend to be much more expensive.
