9/6     Do all HP LaserJet 6P printers have postscript capability, or
        is this an add-on component upgrade?
        \_ Not all.  All 6MP printers have PS though.

10/10   Any reccomendations for a cheap monochrome laser printer?  Network
        not needed.  A decent-size starter toner cartridge would be nice.
        \_ I got a used HP 2200D off craigslist for $250 or so.  It's
           great, it does postscript and prints on both sides of the
           paper, which is nice.  Speed is not too bad.  -phr

6/22    Anyone have experience with the HP 2550L color laser printer?  It's on
        sale @ CostCo for $360, and I'm considering it.  The criticisms I've
        seen are that: 1) it's loud, and 2) it has no proper paper tray.  I can
        live with both of those problems.

3/23    Any recommendations for an Ethernet print server for a
        USB printer. Ideally would like it to work with XP and OS X.
        \_ Just use your PC as the server and let other PCs print to it.
           \_ If OP wanted to do that, they wouldn't be asking about standalone
              print servers, would they?
                \_ Correct. OP is working with a single laptop setup. -op

8/24    Is it a good idea to refill the cartridges of my color inkjet printer
        at places like Cartridge World?  Is it harmful to the printer hardware?
        Does the quality of printouts decrease?  That's store's web site says
        it's okay, but they're in that business.  My inkjet is an Epson Stylus

8/9     Does Mac memory ever get any cool rebates or specials like you'd find
        on slickdeals / dealnews, or are we forced to just take whatever price
        they show on macmall?  My friend's ordering an ibook, and wants to know
        if she should add the pricy 512M now or buy it aftermarket and have me
        install it- the best I saw was $134 on MacMall vs $180 at http://apple.com.

11/21   Is it better for a laser printer to be left on or only turned on
        when I need it?
        \_ doesn't your printer go to sleep?  That should pretty much be
           the best of both worlds.
        \_ in an office where is it going to be used all day just leave it on.
           at home where you use it every few days or whatever, keep it off.

11/21   The other post reminded me I need a new home printer since my inkjet
        died.  I want to get a laser printer.  B/W only is fine.  Cost and
        resupply cost is important.  Print speed is important.  Reasonable
        print quality is required but I'm not sending documents to God so
        I'm not willing to pay 2x for the very best print outs.  Any
        suggestions on what I should look at?  Thanks!

7/7     Another printer question. I bought a HP LaserJet 6L about 4 years
        ago and for the past year when it pulls in a new sheet of paper,
        it actually pulls in a bunch (1-5 additional sheets). I don't want
        to send it to HP (which is what they want me to do). Are there
        places around the bay area that can repair this sort of problem?
        Thanks.

7/8     What's the best way to print tiff and png image files from the linux
        command line to a networked HP laserjet postscript printer?
        \_ convert them to postscript, then print or have the print filters
           do it for you.
            \_ Thanks. Are text and postscript the only data streams that
               can get piped to a printer w/o/ filtering?

7/7     My Epson Stylus Color 600 is getting a bit old and feeling a bit slow.
        I'd like to replace it with a cheap (<$200) color ink jet.  I'm not
        printing photos, but I occasionally use color.  Reccomendations?
        \_ Office Depot has decent printeres (canon, epson) for <$100.
           \_ Yes, but how robust are they?  How much does the ink cost?  What
              PPM count? I've been using the Epson for 5 years now, and I'd like
