From: Gavin on 30 Jun 2010 14:59 As subject really, I want a good value, colour laser printer. Has to be both Mac and Windows compatible, USB connection as I will be using it off the back of the TimeCapsule. I wont get a LOT of use, but the use it does have needs to be able to do quality prints. I dont want the cart replacment to exceed the value of the printer each time either. Any recommends? -- Gavin.

Would it not be better to have a networked printer - then it could be connected anywhere on your LAN over a cable as long as 100m rather than restricted to 5m max for USB? -- Graham J

Get both: Samsung CLP-310, as I recently bought. Fits all criteria and is networked. Splash a few quid extra to get (WEP only) WiFi. I have one, and am perfectly satisfied. Cheers, Ian

My airport network can be seen from the pub, so, as before, it only has to be USB as it will be using thr TC. -- Gavin. ACSP 10.5 http://www.stoof.co.uk http://www.twitter.com/gavin_wilby |
