For b/w lasers, I like Brother. Solid, cheap, reasonably-priced toner. Decent wireless access (2.4 GHz, presuming you don't mind a little extra around the office) and good faxing. For inkjet, I like Canon. Epson's good too but most have nonremoveable print heads, and once they jam, it's disposal time. Canons can be cleaned. And the ink's not too expensive. While I like my wide-format (14" wide) HP wireless OfficeJet, which is wonderful for printing up maps and big network diagrams, I've had way too much trouble with their cheap ink jet All-in-1s. Talk about cost-engineered to the max, with a paper path so flaky that it would have made Willis Carrier himself cringe. We got a 1620 packaged with a laptop about six years ago; it *never* worked. -- Fred Goldstein k1io fgoldstein "at" ionary.com ionary Consulting http://www.ionary.com/ +1 617 795 2701 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
