I've been really happy with our 2610d. They aren't made anymore, but should be available somewhere.
Kyocera used to make a really good printer. I used to be a factory certified service tech for them. That's been 10 years ago though. Right now we're looking at a Panasonic or Sharp multi function unit. 40ppm copier/printer with built in scanner and network connectivity. They are certainly a lot more money than a printer but we'll get GOOD 11x17 full color pages when we want them. And we'll get a full service contract including toner. $10,000 might be a bit out of your budget for one though. Having said that, this is one piece of hardware I'll lease. One payment will cover the machine and all repairs for the next 5 years. Sometimes it's worth it to not have to wonder if things are going to work or not.... I was a copier tech and business owner in that industry for many years. I can tell you that you'll almost always come out ahead if you get a service contract. Always if you perform proper maintenance on the machines.... marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Hammett" <wispawirel...@ics-il.net> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Monday, June 01, 2009 11:26 AM Subject: [WISPA] OT: Printers >I have used HP printers for probably 15 - 20 years.
