Out of curiosity, have you been dissatisfied with them?
yes/no. Last hp as I recall (remember I am of advancing age :^) was an inkjet 695 with the duplex attachment and I had to buy cartridges for it every time I turned around and not from voluminous printing. And I felt that my epson 925 provided better photographs. And a desire to utilize the same brand thoughout the house. I now have an epson 925 and an epson rx700 which both provide amazingly good photographs, but ink is *expensive*. I provide most of my photographs online now and print seldom. But when I print, I usually go to walmart for 4x6 @ us$0.15 and there quality is acceptable for anything except a very special large print to be framed. My wife prints a lot of genealogy paper and is looking for something with cheap output. She has been eyeballing a kodak se3(?) and I have seen a Okidata lazer ($100 range), but don't know about the cost per sheet output.
'Cause I love this LaserJet 2015. Duplex printing, fast, great font rendering, Energy Star, (but not quiet when printing), flexible paper-handling options, full PostScript level III, USB and Ethernet interface, expandable RAM (with easy-access notebook-format DIMM socket).
Sounds good. I service a business which still has a Lazerjet 4 on its last legs, but ... Seems presently most of the manufacturers want to push gadgetry and unneeded function on you to sell at bargan price and lock you into expensive ink flow. Are the lazer printer cheaper over all to utilize? ps: I saw an Okidata color lazer at sams club for ~$179 last week. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
