I have a Dell laser printer I bought off of woot.com for $99 years ago. Still on its initial toner cartridge. Still works 100% flawlessly. It plugs in via ethernet, uses zeroconf/Bonjour, and requires no drivers. I still can't believe what a ridiculously good deal it was.
Like some other commenters here, if I need a color print, I just walk down the street and have a professional printer do it for one or two dollars for a huge glossy or matte high-resolution print. If you do the math, it's cheaper to do this regardless of how much you print -- per page, a consumer inkjet is more expensive than a professional print, and looks worse. There is no point.
(I can even just send it online, and walk over and get it sometime later when it's already done.)
- thorax 16y agoWhat is your model of Dell laser printer, if you don't mind me asking?
- tumult 16y ago1700n. It was new, not refurbished, and came with a toner.
- qeorge 16y agoWow, that is wild. I bought that same deal off woot.com (although I think I paid $120). We've been using it for about 4 years now, and are also still on the initial half-filled cartridge. Probably the best woot I've ever bought.
- tumult 16y agoYou're right, I think I did pay $120 for it, not $99. Maybe I unconsciously factored out the shipping, even though shipping was free.
- wendroid 16y agoSame here with an HP4000+ from eBay. Full duplex, network, two full ream bins, $150. I expected it to die pretty quick but two years later (and 1000s of pages) the spare toner is still on the shelf.
- oops 16y agoFor color inkjet printing, these systems can save you a lot of money (if you can get past the look of them): http://www.rihac.com.au/ciss-systems-c-26.html http://www.rihac.com.au/ciss-systems-c-26.html We have a couple in our co-working space.
