I'm surprised nobody's mentioned HP yet. Maybe it's because their recent consumer models are a far cry from their venerable Laserjets.
I print a lot of text, and use a Kodak kiosk at a supermarket for occasional photos, so I got a used HP laser printer (no color), the Laserjet 2200d. (The "d" means duplexing. The 2200 prints one side only.) I use it with a PC, but there are postscript drivers for it for OS X, OS 9, and probably earlier. It probably was an office machine made for use by a small workgroup. It's not hard for one reasonably strong person to carry, easier than a 17" CRT monitor. The older HP's are very durable and inexpensive as used models (people often give away ones in very good condition around here), and the toner cartridges tend to hold more toner than the later consumer models. That makes them cost a lot less per page. Someone gave me a Laserjet 5mp, which has postscript, a parallel port, and an older round Apple Talk port, but no USB. HP isn't particularly known for its color laser printers, but their better monochrome Laserjets have an excellent reputation and last forever. Their recent consumer stuff isn't known for durability or low cost per page. Most of the Laserjets with a good reputation use a Canon printing engine. For instance, the Canon LBP-32X engine is in all of these printers: Canon LBP-1000 Canon LBP-32X Canon P 100 HP LaserJet 2100 HP LaserJet 2100m HP LaserJet 2100se HP LaserJet 2100tn HP LaserJet 2100xi HP LaserJet 2200d HP LaserJet 2200dn HP LaserJet 2200dt HP LaserJet 2200dtn HP LaserJet 2210 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
