Thread Name: Tech: Need HP printer advice
Subject: RE: Tech: Need HP printer advice
Until recently I had an HP Laserjet II in my office. It was still working fine, so I put it down in the Circulation Office -- I only got a new machine because the old one was giving me "exceeds memory" messages too often. It's still cranking along....
When we bought the 4L we had a Leading Edge -- I don't remember how much RAM it had, but I remember thinking that the 20 MB hard drive would last for a very long time! That was more than a few computers ago....
I'm getting rid of all of the inkjets at work. We have an HP 4550 color laser, the PCs can be networked to it, the cost per copy is far lower, and I'll give the staff B&W lasers for ordinary stuff.
Heck, for some things (book labels, overdue notices) we still use tractor feed dot-matrix printers!
