We bought a couple of Dell network color lasers... On the first one, the (not easily replaced) NIC went out. (Still works nicely shared by the desktop machine closest to it.)
The second one just quit working, and that department was sick and tired of clearing paper jams (not Dell's fault) and the fact that the (second) expensive drum cartridge did not last very long. No page count on that one, but it died within weeks of its installation. The original drum cart lasted over a year. -------------------------------------- Richard McClary, Systems Administrator ASPCA Knowledge Management 1717 S Philo Rd, Ste 36, Urbana, IL 61802 217-337-9761 http://www.aspca.org "Sam Cayze" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 01/15/2008 02:07:49 PM: > I agree with Joe... > > But FYI, Dell is slashing prices since it's the end of their fiscal > year.
