13.2 Hi We currently have a HP printer which only works when the computer it is connected to is on. Is there a wifi printer we could use instead for laptops and phones? Whilst I can find information about the 'phone, no one has any information as to whether it will work from an opensuse laptop. Any recommendations based on experience using this setup? Thanks, B
I'm not sure it handles everything you said, but I bought a Xerox Phaser 6500N (color laser network printer) a couple months ago for $165 from Costco. It is wired only, but I put a $35 media bridge in front of it so laptops etc could use it directly over the wireless. I haven't tried from phones. It is unbelievably good for the price. I've already run about 3000 pages of printing through it. I've had 2 paper jams and I've had to replace the black toner. $100 for a genuine xerox black toner, but I got one from LD (via Amazon) for $20. No noticeable degradation in print quality, but it voids the warranty. I did have to make a warranty claim because a solenoid failed about 30 days in. They actually sent out an onsite repair person to replace the solenoid the next day. No cost to me. The solenoid was deep in the printer so it took him about an hour to replace it. fyi: I bought the Xerox because the Canon MX922 I already had was simply not reliable. Print jobs would get stuck in client PCs and sometimes the only fix was to reboot the client PC. Nothing like that has happened in 2 months of use of Phaser.
