Re: Laser Printer

[David Paul]

Hi Frank

Daniel Kerr just supplied me with a Brother HL3070CW which seems to work
very well with 10.6.2 once you download the current driver (CD version does
not work with 10.6) and a firmware update!

This is a wireless and ethernet version so the ethernet only is cheaper.

I have not had to replace the toner yet so not sure of the cost of them.

This printer is a LED laser and is reputed to produce less vapours than std
lasers.

Regards
Dave

You could do that

Harvey Norman are selling a Brother Mono Laser HL2140 for $88

only $68 if you process the cash back.

that's less than  a new toner .

Re: Laser Printer Recommendations?

Last year I invested in a Brother HL 5150D which has proven most  
satisfactory. The D stands for Duplex I think which means you are  
able to print both sides of the paper. Such a feature may be worth it  
to you if you are going to be doing a lot of printing. Unfortunately  
I think that model is now superseded but whatever replaced it would  
prove equal value I am sure. I recommend Brothers. Always been very  
good with new drivers.

Re: Laser printer bargain

Thanks for the tip on this, guys. I've been needing a new printer for 
a while and this one fits the bill perfectly.


I got mine at Officeworks for $99 with a 3 year extended warranty for 
an extra $19.80. About 10 or so left at the Galleria Officeworks. 
There was also a model with a scanner and fax included for .. I think 
it was $129. Only two left.

 The Good Guys in Stock Rd. O'Connor are advertising Brother HL2040 laser
 printers for $99 (less for cash).  Pretty cheap.  These are an excellent
 printer for OSX.  When I was in there a week or so ago they also had some
 Cannon colour Ink Jet printers for about 29 bucks. They are not open
 Sundays.

Re: Laser printer bargain

[Lloyd White]

Now that IS  a good price!

I paid $249 at Officeworks for one in December! It was dearer at Hardly
Normals. 
I feel like buying a few before they realise the mistake they are making!
Cheaper than a new toner pack for it - about $125. The new ones come with
only a starter pack that does about 1000 A4 pages.

Have a look at the Samsung CPL-510 or 550. Comes with Postscript out

thought. Colour (postscript) laser printing for under $1000.

This week I ditched my inkjet and bought a Brother HL-2030 B&W laser

AirPort Extreme so our PowerBook and iBook print wirelessly from it.


I don't have a big need for a copier so we use our Samsung plain  
paper phone/fax for the odd copy that might be needed.   The scanner  
now sits in a cupboard.

The scanner is gravy and non essential. I would like the fax and printer
in one piece. Downtime is not a big drama, it's not an business machine,
and space is at a premium.

Powerbook sends faxes from documents already, BTDT. This is great right
up until I need to fax a signed paper document, which I do at reasonably
regular intervals.

Hi Lara

One model that you might want to look at is the Brother. My Mum uses the
Brother 8840D which is a Laser Multifunction unit with fax. It works really
well. Replacement toner cartridges are well priced and the unit is easy to
set up and work. I'm not 100% sure if it would work with the Base Station,
but in saying that you'd still have to unplug it to use the scanner features
as the Airport only allows the Printer part to work.
They aren't *terribly* expensive.

The 8840D sells for RRP$1199 and the 8840 for $949, and they work well with
the Mac too! :o)


As for somewhere to buy,...I hear MacWizardry can do them for a good price.
:o) (Hey,..can't blame me for saying) :o))

Worth a look anyway.

Hope that helps.

Kind Regards
Daniel

Yep.

You can also upgrade to a better version of one or the other more
easily.

Re: Laser printer-fax-copier?

[Shay Telfer]

Hi alll, I see inkjet multifunction centres have been discussed here
recently, but I can't see a discussion of laser printers. Looking for a
B&W laser-fax-copier. We have two AlBooks and an Airport Extreme base
station, can plug the powerbooks in directly to the printer when needed,
but one that will talk to the base station would be even better if this
doesn't cost vastly more.

Price is a key point as is ease of use. Quality of printing not
particularly important within fairly broad limits - this would mainly be
for printing PDFs to read at home etc, not for publishing work.

We're in the Northern Suburbs so near Joondalup applecentre, Dick Smith,
Harvey Norman. Advice on what to get and where would be greatly
appreciated.


IMHO, get a scanner and a laser printer. That way you won't have to 
replace both of them when one breaks, or be without one while the 
other's being repaired. Also, you can get a decent scanner and a 
decent laser printer rather than combined mediocre ones. Or not have 
both out of order if there isn't a software update available yet.


I think Harvey Norman had Lexmark lasers reasonably cheap last week. 
No idea what they're like though.


As for fax, there are numerous on-line fax options. Or pick up a 
cheap fax machine.


But hey, I'm sure you knew most of that :)

Have fun,
Shay

I'll mainly be printing out big PDFs and doing the odd scan and fax -
the price of inkjet ink is criminally absurd, and I'm no longer willing
to futz about resetting and refilling cartridges, so laser it is.
Inkjets are so OUT of my life.

The only one I've used fails on the "price" critera by about $10,000.
It's a *fantastic* device though - it'll even scan a batch of documents
and save them in a network file share for you.

Like you, I've only seen inkjet multifunctionals on the lower end. I was
utterly floored by how well one of them worked recently (a friend has
one), though, and how quick and high quality it was. I'm a hardened
inkjet hater - and if it can't tell me *in* *words* what's wrong with it
on a status display, I don't buy it - but I was still pretty impressed.

This machine works well. It's great with MacOS 9, and works well with 
MacOS X as soon as you realise that you should set it to print at 300 
rather than 600 dpi.  At 600 dpi it's too slow for rational use, but at 
300 dpi it lives up to its promise of around 14 ppm.

Have a look at the Samsung ML-1710 if you want a low-priced (sub $400) 
Laser Printer. It comes with MacOS X drivers and prints at up to 16 
ppm, and has a 250-sheet paper tray. Good value for basic black 
printing.

I like the HP 1300 (399 US), many of my clients use them and are very  
happy with them.

A less expensive model is the HP 1000 (199 US). Don't have any  
experience with these.

Re: Laser printer request

[themenubar]

I have found some of the OKI printers to be very good and as they are an LED
printer rather than a traditional laser printer they are much smaller and
lighter as well as being much cheaper to run. They do work on the same
principal but instead of having a laser to print with they use a row of LED
lights so they also not as dangerous when to use.

Kind regards,

Kris Flint.
