Situation: I think we need some new printers here for some of our labs. After
seeing people's reports on various printers, I'm concerned the printer I want
doesn't actually exist. :(
The installation I'm looking for will print 45,000-60,000 pages/month. We
currently have 3 HP LJ8000's doing this work.
Problems I've seen so far:
HP LJ8000:
-requires new paper-input unit every 250k-350k pages
-printer gets into a snit periodically where all jobs print zero pages;
requires power-off/power-on to clear
-accounting more or less works
HP LJ8100:
-PIU survives longer
-same snit as the LJ8000's
-accounting also works
I've been eyeing other printer brands, such as the DocuPrint N2625. Working
accounting, one way or another, is a must, though, and the war stories I've
read say this printer isn't set for prime-time page-accounted printing. There
have been some Tek Phaser 7700(?) accounting problems, too, I thought.
Does anyone have a printer that handles this sort of capacity, with a robust
rendering engine AND can handle page accounting reliably in an automated
fashion? (I know I'm asking for the world here, but it's worth a try...)
