Computer Gurus: I Need a Printer

Whatever you do get a warranty on it - protect your investment....

just to throw this out there Dell has decent printers and solid warranty on them. Especially as some can be had with the advanced exchange which ships another unit out NBD in case of failure instead of repair.

This one is wireless which would be very nice.

What did I say about not buying anything but HP?

They've got some chitty reviews man.

Because they have such a large market share. You're bound to piss somebody off now and then when you capture most of the market.

I also want to stress, I am not affiliated with HP in anyway. I am an IT guy who has seen people try to save money with other brands of printers, and regret the decision later.

I second the HP recomendation. We have an old HP LJ-4000 that has been turning out documents for years. I bought a Minolta 3100 Color and the controller board died under warranty, it was replaced and worked just long enough for the warranty to expire. Now the network interface has a problem and it would cost around $900.00 to buy a new board.

I have it working using one of our networked computers and a parallel port but it really sucks to have to run a high dollar printer like that.

Right now they are $279 ($9.99 shipping) on Newegg.com. I got mine for about $100 less than that with free shipping a few months ago.

Its a great "Home" color laser with network port built in.

Same for me.

Really looking at the 1525 that Blino linked. They have it on newegg. Wish it were a little faster, but that may be the one. 4 new toner cartridges is 210 or so which kinda sucks.
