The only printers we ever put under contract are color lasers, IMHO they are typically prone to isues. Painstakingly sent to you from my Blackberry.

I was wondering how many people subscribe to a printer maintenance contract? We have never done this, and are now being presented w/ a proposal to put all our laser printers under a 3 year contract for toner, maintenance and labor for a monthly fee. Traditionally, if a laser printer craps out, we would just toss it and buy a replacement. This company is trying to tell us they can “save” us money by putting the printers under a contract that basically comes out to $.02/page. But if we look at strictly toner costs alone, the monthly maintenance charge is more than we are spending now on just toner. IIRC, the extra money we would be paying per month for maintenance could just as easily be used to purchase a new printer about every 2 months. Thoughts, comments, suggestions welcome.
