I'm looking to replace an old laser printer whose drive motor wore out with a new duplexing laser. I've browsed the Brother (often recommended here) multi-function lasers online, and I see that I can get a color laser for a fairly small incremental increase in the purchase price. My printer use

From: discuss-bounces+blu=nedharvey@blu.org [mailto:discuss- bounces+blu=nedharvey@blu.org] On Behalf Of Tom Metro another reason why I favor laser printers over inkjets is that you can leave them unused for several months and not have the ink cartridges dry out. I don't know if

I have an old Samsung CLP-300 series color laser. It isn't as rugged as my older HP Laserjet P, but it is color. The only maintenance I have done after 8 years is replace the toner cart's. I even use no-name replacement toner. There are 4 cart's, and the black is larger than the rest. There is

I've had good luck with HP color lasers. My previous one, a LaserJet 2605dn, lasted for 7 years without a repair. Just a few weeks ago, I replaced it with a LaserJet M451dn for about $350. The output is quick and gorgeous, with automatic duplex. Works on Ubuntu 14, Windows 7, Windows XP, and Mac

Lat printer I bought for home use was a LaserJet 4000, back in 1998. Never had a problem with it once I upgraded it with a JetDirect card I got on eBay; it still works great today. I remember others on the list over the years assert that HP's printer quality seriously degraded in the early

Of the color printers I've used at various jobs, my favorite in terms of print quality and ease of maintenance was a Xerox Phaser. I don't recall the specific model number. Its most memorable attribute is that it didn't use toner cartridges; instead, it used solid blocks of ink. Essentially, they

Ahh yes. The wax ice cubes the Phaser used. The wax sublimation process worked well. The only problem I had was leaving the prints in the car in Texas summer. The wax ran and the pages stuck together. Still it did 'just work'. When working at a semi-conduction maker in Austin TX, the only
