Whoa, I just checked out the prices on the HP 5000 series ... they presently start at around $1400. If I thought I could justify that to my wife, I'd probably do it, however, if the $200 to $300 range printer will give me the quality my old Apple Laserwriter did, I'd be ok with that. Ah to be rich ...

Dear Dean,

I print my own big band scores - as many as 16 staves, on normal letter size paper in landscape view. But I am not really reading them - just being reminded of what I have written. If I really needed to see shat I was conducting, I'd get some 11x17 paper cut to 11x14 and use that in whichever orientation was more appropriate for the instrumentation I was using. I just like the 11x14 proportion.

As others will tell you, the HP laserjet 5000 series printers are quite robust and do a great job. I've had mine for years with no trouble and very good results. It cost a small fortune when i bought it, but the prices of comparable printers have come down a lot since then, and the Ricoh that Noel has has been recommended by many on the list. As others have suggested, smaller ones are even less expensive than I thought.
