Hi Bob!
I like the older HP lasers. They "just work" with CUPS and they last
forever. I get them used at this little shop on Mariotti Court, Express
Ink and Paper.
Ink Jets are initially cheap, but the cartridges are the proprietary
cash cow, damned corporate a55holes. Old HP lasers get my vote.
Regards,
Pete
