Re: [H] desktop laser
Just get whatever Samsung is on special. CompUSSR was having it for ~$50 just a little while ago, I got mine for $30 in early Jan. Quiet, fast, seems reliable enough. But then again, I do my heavy duty printing at home with a golden oldie (HP LaserJet 6MP :P) -- JW

It isn't that much money to begin with and if something doesn't work out it is easy to take back or get support.

Greg about five years ago I made this mistake. I bought a HP laser off of Ebay. It worked but was from a smoker. The second I opened the box I was aware of it. Turning it on caused it to heat up, expanding the noxious smell, and then the fan blew it around the room. You can't get rid of this. I write all this as a guy who quit a three pack a day habit in 1989. I just can't stand the smell any more.

Half the envelopes won't feed, and the cancel button takes a minute to clear out an error.So I have to power down, power back up, stack the envelopes and start over. And God help me if I want to print out more then one, or two normal pages, like a pdf manual, on any kind of paper, because I end up with a jam PDQ. You look at the inside of the printer, and it is still in new condition. No paper dust, no burns, nothing. I have had enough of this thing, and it is time to try another brand of cheap laser but what? I don't care about speed, endurance, features, I just want it to work reliably the little bit I am going to use it. I am thinking about HP LaserJet1020 laser printer which I can get on sale for hundred bucks. Anyone have any experience with this.

I have had an HP 1012 for a couple of years and really like it. No trouble at all. Mind gets sporadic use as well. If you need support, though, I find that HP's is a big zero.
