RE: CUPS & Choosing a Printer

Same here. In a university setting as well. Have no contracts or similar with
HP but still opted over the years to only have HP Laserjets. Works well with
both windows and linux. In the long run it's also a good thing to have only a
few models of toner cartridges on the shelves. Can you believe we still have a
working Laserjet 4M! Those are sturdy if anything. 8-D


We are in an academic setting, so that the printer has to be sturdy
and networkable throughout several subnets to all types of computers
through our RH print server.
I have found that HP printers have been the best match for our
situation in providing drivers for all of our computers.

We also have a campus contract with HP and techs on campus to handle
hardware problems.

You do have to ask HP or look on their web pages to make sure that
they have drivers for MacIntoshes. Their Color Laserjet 3500-3600 do
not fit our requirements. This is not obvious from their web pages.

I'm currently in the process of choosing a new printer.

Does anyone have any experience of the Dell 1710 Laser Printer and
it's suitability? Any comments, observations and general advice on
this subject would be appreciated.

(Margret & Mark - you know who you are - I am following your
printing problems closely, in case there is something I can
learn . . .)

TIA.

Alan.
