Need printer recommendations
I'm looking at ink jet, though a cheap color laser might catch my eye.
It has to be able to handle at least 500 pages per month (mostly mailing labels) and not cost much in ink/toner. Also has to run under Win98 SE. I don't really care about high dpi - besides the labels I print faxes and a few letters. Postscript is not important. Any suggestions? Mike |

On a colour laser printer to suit you, the Samsung CLP-500 Colour Laser
Printer is impossible to go past for quality, price, operating cost and 3 year everything warranty. Is a tad larger physically than comparative other colour laser printers, but colour quality and operating costs rule everything else out. In ink jet, Canon, Canon, Canon. |

I'd go for a Panasonic 9 or 24 pin dot matrix.

Mike,
David is right on about Canon. In your case I'd recommend the i860. Very fast, high quality print and inexpensive to purchase. Office Depot had them on sale and then had a rebate on top of that. The Canon ink tanks are easy to successfully refill. Refilling will cut your cost of printing to almost nothing. I have three Canon photo printers and they are fantastic. There are bargains all over the place on i860's. This model has 5 tanks. A pigmented black for text only and individual c,m,y,k tanks for photo use. Be sure to check out http://www.steves-digicams.com/printers.html for reviews of different printers. I'm also emailing you a pdf of my refilling instructions. Check out comp.periphs.printers for more info than you may ever want on printers. Hint: Canons seem to be the favorite because of their low cost of operation and high reliability. -- Ron Cohen "Mike Koewler" wrote in message ...

All,
I bought the i860. I didn't absolutely need color, but sometimes my daughter needs a color printout for something at school. Given the small extra cost, it saves me from having to take a pdf file to the office and print it there. Thanks for the recommendations. Does the refilling station void the warranty?

Hi Mike Koewler ),
in the newsgroups you posted: || I bought the i860. I didn't absolutely need color, but sometimes my || daughter needs a color printout for something at school. Given the || small extra cost, it saves me from having to take a pdf file to the || office and print it there. Excellent Mike. I am sure you will be happy with it. As for a B/W Laser these days, I am recommending the H/P LaserJet 1200/1300 Series ($299). We have a couple of these at work, both of which have 80,000 prints and 22 jams according to the setup report that you can print. They have been incredible. They have not broke down, and they print excellent quality, and the toner seems as though it lasts forever. -- Brian Kvalheim Microsoft Publisher MVP http://www.publishermvps.com ~pay it forward~ This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. |

Refilling will not void the warranty. Only if a failure is directly caused
by a refill or non OEM cartridge would there be a problem. On Canon models refilling is very popular and has not been know to cause any problems. Did you get the refilling info file I sent to you? -- Ron Cohen "Mike Koewler" wrote in message ... All, I bought the i860.

Ron,
I got it, but my inbox seems to have a mind of its own these days. It deleted it. Can you resend the message? Mike Ron Cohen wrote: Refilling will not void the warranty.
