I don't print much either, contracts, business letters...I try hard
not to create paper output but you wouldn't believe it if you saw my
office. Ten years ago I also got fed up with ink jet printers so in
04 I bought a huge office Okia Data color laser printer for around
400 bucks. You get about 2000 pages out of the cartridges they give
you which lasted me 8 years. I replaced the expensive cartridges once
but I will buy a new Okia Data printer next time I need a cartridge.
The last ten years I have never had a printer problem... no jams, no
bad print jobs, no out or toner, no inexplicably doesn't
work. Duplex, envelopes everything prints out with equal ease. It
has a flawless network driver that is easy to use and unlike Samsung
or others that have 100 meg software installs, you simply use your
browser to log into the printer to check on things like consumables.
It is Japanese made, it has expensive consumables... almost as much
as the printer itself, and prints out color pretty good. Okia Data
is strictly a business cliental company so they have 24 hour American
phone support that is very good. They have excellent output and they
are very reliable but their cost per page is high. But I don't print
many pages so the no hassle no problem print it now reliability is worth it.

My Epson Workforce printer is giving up the ghost. I'm pissed about
the fact that if one single ink cartridge (it has four, one black
and 3 color) runs empty, then this printer won't print at all. Also,
if you clean the heads, it somehow uses ink. I ran though nearly an
entire set of cartridges without printing a single word or pattern,
just by cleaning the heads.
Anyone got a decent printer recommendation? Frankly, it seems like
printers have gone the way of the dodo....it seems you get ripped on
ink and get shoddy hardware to nearly nothing. I don't print a lot,
though, so my needs are not great, but I do need to print. I'm
working on a report right now and having a printed copy would be
nice, but I can't even get a decent printed copy.
Thanks.
