RE: New Laser Printers

Jeff,

I recommend HP printers to my clients and they have all worked with great
success.  Some with the same volume and more of what you mentioned.  A
couple of the printers have printed over 600K in the past two years with no
downtime.  We also recommend the use of forms printing software, provided
you use pre-printed forms and can justify the cost, which is normally pretty
easy.

All the printers are connected over Ethernet using internal Jet Direct cards
or external Jet Direct(I personally like the Jet Direct over other print
servers).  The printers are connected using IP with socket printing.

E-mail my personal account if you have other questions.

Subject: New Laser Printers


The time has come for us to get some new laser printers for attachment
to our AS/4 . . . er, e(logo)server iseries.

Our current lasers are Anzac 3017s, which are HP Laserjet 4si with a
twinax interface.  The printers were once wonderful but are simply worn
out.  Anzac used to be a good company, but their service has gotten so
terrible over the last couple of years that I would not use Anzac
printers if they _gave_ them to us.

I'm interested in something HP, probably, unless someone convinces me
otherwise.  No more twinax, I want cat 5 cabling.  I assume that
printers still require an 'interface' card to work properly with an
AS/40 . . . &#@*%#+ I mean an e(logo)server iseries.  They need to be
heavy duty printers, probably 2 of them, in the 20ppm range.

What printers are you using these days?  What do you recommend?  Thanks.
