Hi
We run a 9.1 only 20 node school lan. Can anyone recommend a cheapish b/w laser printer that will do the job for a school with 200 students? Demand can be heavy like today (300 sheets) or can drop to very little at other times. Anyone in a similar situation recommend a colour laser?
Pretty much anything Xerox/Tektronix makes which also has a network card installed will work. I've had good luck with several here. I'm a big fan of the wax-based printers, and you can get a refurbished Phaser 850 or 8200 (or similar) for not too much money (from Xerox). Cheap's relative, IMHO. I've had truly cheap laser printers (we had a Brother HL1270N) serving similar usage that only lasted a little longer than the warranty period. It cost more to fix its output quality problem than it would to get a new printer. --Danny
