Caution: There is one very significant difference between most laser
printers (eg HP Laser Jet) and most (if not all) MFD's ( eg.
Printronix, Canon, Lexmark that I know of):
***** The MFD's all reset themselves to their default configuration
after *each* print program ***********
IME (YMMV) it's nothing to do with whether it's an MFD or not, and
everything to do with whether it's on a network.
When my previous employer switched from LaserJet IIIs on serial or
parallel to 4s on network cards, this broke our setup. And whether the
printer reset or not depended on either (a) the default - reset after
every network job, or (b) you could configure it whether to reset or
not.
It makes sense, actually - how is the printer to know where the "end of
job" is over serial or parallel, whereas it's easy to tell if it's come
down as a network job.
Every laserjet I've had experience of from the 4 onwards has, in my
experience, reset after every job. But I've always had them attached
directly to the network with their own network card.
Cheers,
Wol
