We have an older HP4000 series network laser and two network Konica copiers
that print, copy, scan, fax, etc. The Konica handles up to 11x17 which is
fine for our CAD requirements. We trashed all of the small lasers as they
died. They are hard to network and cost too much compared to the bigger
lasers and copiers.
My home office has a Brother multi-function laser that copies, scans and
faxes.

Subject: Re: [Vantage] HP 1200 Printer
Marty,
We had a bunch of cheap individual laser printers (big mistake made early
on)
We now only use lasers like the 1200 where they are too far away from the
network printers.
1200 is a nice printer for an individual, not as a network printer.
However, If you are looking for relatively rapid printing for general and
special purpose (CAD/Graphics)
We have also 2 HP LJ5000's, I think the new version is LJ5100
Plugged directly into the network.
17 pages a minute, not sure what 5100 does.
1200 dpi
Makes great graphics and CAD plots. (We use ours primarily for CAD plots)
Buy lots of RAM if you are printing big images.
Holds entire ream of 8.5 x 11 and half a ream of 11 x 17.
If speed is really a concern and money is not a problem.
Look at Canon Image Runner Series multifunction copier, printer, scanner,
fax etc.
28 pages a minute or more depending on the one you purchase/lease.
Stores documents onboard for printing when ever you want.
Good graphics and CAD output. Also does up to 11 x 17
Not as high res as the HP Laser Jet but still better than what most people
need.
Our networked multi-function machines have virtually replaced all small
laser printers and old photocopiers here.
I strongly recommend the Image Runner machines.
They go and go and go 80,000 plus pages on one and 120,000 plus on the
other.
No breakdowns - only normal maintenance.
No toner to purchase (its part of the yearly service)
Good luck

OK, now ( I think) I need recommendations for other network LasertJet
printers.
I think I bought the wrong printer because -
Wayne's slow USB data rate comments concerned me so I checked with the
users of this printer and found out that they will be printing excel graphs
based on data imported
from an external source and some Autocad files. Both are graphics
intensive. They'll need something faster. They don't need paper larger than
letter size but I'll sure hear
about it if it's too slow.
Do you agree that I would be better off with something else / faster ?? If
so, tell me what to buy!!
Thanks again,
