----------------------------Original message---------------------------- We have used several printers over the years and I have found HP (Hewlett Parkard) to be the best, they stand up to a lot of use and they are easy to set up. They aren't cheap, especially a colour laser printer, but they produce a good quality colour print. We use one in our Photo Dept. If you plan to use it on a network you should get a printer that will support networks. If you plan doing a lot of printing, look at something with 300 or so pages per paper tray.
