I saw something on the list serve for SkyPilot this weekend. Didn't read
it so this might be a repeat. See below about SkyPilot being sold to
smart meter company.

I have used HP printers for probably 15 - 20 years. The first printer (680c)
probably still works. Anything we've purchased in the past 10 years has been

Nothing but the midrange and higher HP lasers here. As sad as it is to

Why would you use inkjet? Switch to laser or LED. You want to use a single
pass system instead of a multi-pass. OKI MFCs are my first choice, as the
print quality is unsurpassed and consumables are inexpensive.

Skypilot had some innovative antenna-switching technology, but had also

We tried our luck with a Dell laser about 2 years ago. Not bad, but
still has a few bugs to work out. Tends to overheat / curl papers more
than the HP we had last did. No repair issues or anything though.

If your looking for a MFP then Xerox got one think it's their 6180 can scan
direct to e-mail, windows file share or ftp server. Works great. Very good
color laser as well. They makes some of the best quality color lasers out
there.

That's close to my home volume for laser. I've had an hp5m/n laser for 9
years at home. It was probably $300 when I bought it. I put toner in it
about every 3-4 years. It's still going strong.
At work we use an hp8150n laser printer, which is about 6 years old now,

HP 9200 series will do that. You can even write flows to send jobs to

I have a 4 running as well and have printed hundreds of pages since I got it
with zero problems.
1) It doesn't do color.
2) It doesn't scan, fax, copy, etc.
I'm reluctant to spend $500 on a better printer when the $200 ones I've been
getting have been garbage.

With Mikrotik, throughput is all the same regardless of frequency. So,
here is the throughput chart:
5mhz channel = 7Mbps
10mhz channel = 15Mbps
20mhz channel = 30Mbps
40mhz channel = 50Mbps
So, with 3.65ghz, the fastest you could get it 30Mbps because there is
only 25mhz of spectrum
