you mean its time to dump my Centronix dot matrix and my Juki daisywheel printers? I'm not sure I can part with them...just yet :-) Chris Smolinski wrote: > > -----Original Message----- >> From: piclist-bounces@mit.edu On Behalf Of Moses McKnight >> Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2008 8:38 AM >> >> I've been using a brother 5250DN for about a year now and love it. >> Built in duplex, built in ethernet networking, 30 ppm and 1200 dpi >> printing.

I bought a HL-5250DN several months ago, after my previous laser printed started showing signs of old age. I've had laser printers since the late 1980s (started with a TI microlaser 35 which lasted an incredibly long time, and cost the then vast sum of around $2k), and managed to mostly avoid the whole ink jet printer fiasco, other than an HP color inkjet I bought to print some labels and such. Horrible experience, the cartridges would clog all the time, and they cost more than a new printer. -- --- Chris Smolinski Black Cat Systems http://www.blackcatsystems.com -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist --------------------------------- Never miss a thing.
