OT: Printers

[temery]

My school hasn't supported printers for a few years. The IT admin believe every should print to the same printer/copier.

Bottom line: The 20 year old HP 4L I brought to school for use in my room, has died. Any suggestions for a desktop printer? Color is not needed, but speed is important. I'll be using it for drafts, and for last minute printing of a classroom set of papers (~30 sheets).

do you care if it's laser or inkjet? HP M451 is a pretty solid one if you don't mind shelling out for a nice laser. I actually do a lot of work on that model and remanufactured cartridges aren't too hard to come by when you need to replace

also, do you need a multifunction or just printer?

edit: just saw color wasn't needed...I work primarily with HP so that's what I know best, but the 4515 or 4000 are both solid monochrome printers

If you don't need color and plan to do a lot of printing look for a decent laser printer (you should be able to find a capable one for ~ $125). They are much faster than ink jets and toner (the real cost of printers) is far cheaper per copy.

Worst gameday thread ever.

Worst gameday thread ever.

This thread is actually great mojo. The first printer was Guttenberg. A German who could set type. We have one who can set a screen. It's perfect.
And here's the topper HP actually stands for Husky Pride!!

I'm psyched!
