Here we go-
I have a mixed Windows/Mac environment and am needing a laser printer with built-in Ethernet so I can just plug it in the switch and go. The Win box is XP Pro SP2, and the Mac is a Sawtooth running 10.3.5.
I currently have an OfficeJet that is not cutting it. USB based, the drivers for the Mac are GIMP print which does not take full advantage of the printer's capabilities (no Mac driver), plus the ink is costing me a mint every year.
Does anyone have a recommendation? Either older or new would be fine. Monochrome or colour. I am needing your input.
Hewlett Packard. These are products that would make The Daves smile.
Virtually any networkable HP laserjet will do, so long as it's not a 1xxx or a nL (as in 4L 5L, etc) series (those suck, the jury's out on the 1200 series).
We have a pile of them: HP 4's, 5's, 2x00's, 4x00's etc. All of them are energizer bunny printers.
We've got a HP 5SiNx that's been kicking out the pages since 96' or so and is still going strong.
I think it's had the feed roller replaced twice...and for several of those years it was the main networked printer for the entire College. It's still being used in the computer lab where it's getting a pounding; easily hundreds if not thousands of pages a month.
