Re: Recommending a good printer.
Meir, hi, Sorry for being such a nag, but every time you intend to start a new thread, you seam to reply to a random one in a previous one. It confuses my Thunderbird (or, I guess, any other mail client that looks on th In-Reply-To: field). For example, this discussion is still in the asterisk hardware thread. Could you please write a new mail every time you mean to start a new thread? Sorry again.

Re: Recommending a good printer.
Meir, You might want to check which cartidge do you get with the printer (make sure it's not some sort of economic cartridge which means it is less then half full), and you should also check how much a replacement cartidge costs.. You really don't want to buy a 350NIS laser printer, only to be forced to pay 500 for the cartridge later..

Re: Recommending a good printer.
On the Lexmark 232 I printed thousands of pages with one catridge. On the second catridge the printer start chunking on paper. for 350 I will not cry if I have to throw it away. It is far better deal that buying any ink jet printer.
