Re: Small workgroup copier?

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's the "windows only" printers that usually fail.
I insist on "network ready".
I've connected HP's, Zebra's, the Ricoh was a pain..., Canon, Toshiba,
Dell and others. I have found that if it's in that list with "N" (does not 
connect)
I have never gotten them to work. At my rate, and your salary) it's not 
worth
saving $100 bucks and then spend several extra hours making it work.
Also, the continual calls from users.... it disconnected, it won't rotate,
the print is too small, etc. I've usually convinced management it will cost
"extra money" (in time, effort, user dissatisfaction) to go outside the 
list.
Just search "ascii printers" in the Knowledge Base and there is a plethora
of documents to work with.
