Laser printer gloat
This inspired by the mini-thread in the thread up yonder about HP
DeskJet printers. Actually something of a reverse gloat, along the lines of "my old printer still works; does yours?". Got my HP LaserJet 2100M (600 DPI w/PostScript capability) ca. 2000. Not only is the printer still working perfectly, but I'm still using the same cartridge I got with it! Which is a little puzzling; while the printer hasn't exactly been used in a production environment, I have put plenty of pages through it: printed out many entire manuals, etc. I'm just waiting for the cartridge to empty out, but it still hasn't come close. (I even have a 2nd cartridge I got with the printer, still in its foil package.) One thing I really don't like about this, and really most HP printers that I've used, is that it hates to print on the back of printed sheets. Usually it eats/shreds about half the sheets one tries to print this way. Yeah, I know, you can get HPs with "duplex" options, but to me, that's utter bull****. I remember the old Panasonic laser printer my old office had. It was a huge beast, and certainly no better than the HP we also had at the time (LJ 4???), but the Panasonic would feed *any* paper you put into it, even if it had just been run through the printer on one side. I'd always use it to print out my manuals on 2 sides for proofing. Other than this, the LaserJet is a fine piece of equipment. -- Who needs a junta or a dictatorship when you have a Congress blowing Wall Street, using the media as a condom? - harvested from Usenet |
