HP Laser hands down. I have a LaserJet 4si/mx with 2.1 Million pages on the print engine. No ink based printer can even get close to the durability or life.

Re: [WISPA] OT: Printer recommendations
Agreed! Epson's have to be used daily, their ink caps are terrible. hp lasers are dirty, construction site, dairy barn compatible. See a guy with something sticking to his boots, get him a laser jet 2200dn, full duplex, not fast but never stops, drum comes with toner. it can be in standby for a month in a barn and still spit out pages will no jams. like the Uzi of printers! for color, HP photo smart 7250, it will have a paper jam on the second to last sheet, don't let it run low on paper. problem cured. high cost of ink solved at ink4print, Amazon, order below to prove costs I bought 13 VERY HIGH CAPACITY cartridges for less than one at Costco! Good ink too! So far no clogs or throwaways. Now I print a lot more color, it became cheaper than black!!!

Re: [WISPA] OT: Printer recommendations
Brother printers are good but they dont keep up with their drivers. I had a customer with dozens of them but they wouldn't talk to the terminal server. I worked with Brother support over the phone and their level 3 support guy said it wouldn't work. The customer had to purchase all new HP printers which worked like a charm. To be fair, this was a few years back. On Tue, Nov 23, 2010 at 10:42 AM, Fred Goldstein wrote: > At 11/23/2010 09:01 AM, you wrote: > >I've used HP OfficeJets for most of the previous decade.

Re: [WISPA] OT: Printer recommendations
The new Dell's are proprietary and you have to get their toner. That is not such an issue any longer staples and others has them, just stock up. The larger HP all-in-one lasers are great. The Lower end ones have an issue that they eat toner cartridges badly. Get one that you can get a high yield cartridge. Brothers are good as well. I have had a few of the lower end units that have had print tray issues.

Re: [WISPA] OT: Printer recommendations
I would personally run far away from Dell. They used to be rebranded Lexmarks, but were proprietary in their ink config. Their cartridges and toner seem to be more expensive than some of the others and like someone else mentioned, hard to come by without ordering direct from Dell. We have had great luck over the years with HP, but I agree that some of the later stuff has been a little shaky. I'll add one more plus for Epson - they seem to really be moving to the head of the pack with inkjet and officejet level printers. IMHO HP is still then best in the laser printers though. -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Mike Hammett Sent: Tuesday, November 23, 2010 8:50 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] OT: Printer recommendations I was considering their Office Jet Laser series, but was hesitant to spend even more money on an HP when they've continually failed me.

Re: [WISPA] OT: Printer recommendations
I was considering their Office Jet Laser series, but was hesitant to spend even more money on an HP when they've continually failed me. One of my clients has dozens of the Dell laser printers and MFPs. They seem to do well for them. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com On 11/23/2010 8:32 AM, Robert West wrote: > I see the same issues with the OfficeJets but only with the Inkjet models. > The laser models work flawlessly for me but they are only black and white, > at least the ones I have.

Re: [WISPA] OT: Printer recommendations
We just got a new HP Color Laser/Fax/Scanner/Copier. Think it was 500 bucks, but so far, works perfect.

Re: [WISPA] OT: Printer recommendations
I see the same issues with the OfficeJets but only with the Inkjet models. The laser models work flawlessly for me but they are only black and white, at least the ones I have. I only use the InkJet Hp for printing of maps and it's usually a fight even with a static IP set in the thing. As far as Dell, they used to be made by Lexmark but I've seen some that were HP. I'd actually steer clear of Dell and just go with whoever makes the Dell model you're looking at due to their hard to find proprietary ink. I HAVE had some luck with the Kodak printers now that they seem to have their firmware figured out. The ink is way cheap as a bonus. Not a heavy duty machine but they seem to do the job.

[WISPA] OT: Printer recommendations
I've used HP OfficeJets for most of the previous decade. I've used HP printers period for... 20 years? However, the OfficeJets continue to have paper handling and other issues. They are used far less than their service duty allows. I also have a problem with the printer disappearing on some computers. I was recommended to Dell all in one printers, but their user interface for the scanning, faxing, etc. features is horrible. I need something that works, does copy, fax, scan, print, and is easy enough for non-techies to use.
