Hobbs > IS Technician, City of Siloam Springs > chobbs@siloamsprings.com, (479).524.5136 I'm a fan of the (older) Hewlett Packard printers. I've got an HP LaserJet 4550 at home that I picked up on eBay, but that's probably overkill for you. I'd recommend sticking to Postscript printers with network interfaces. Be sure to check what maintaining the thing is going to cost you. -Damian
