- I am thinking of replacing my 24pin dot-matrix printer with a low-end
- ($600 or less) Laser/LED/Jet printer. Something that has been more or
- less proven to work with Win3.1.
- I have considered the following:
- 1- HP's DeskJet-500, for ~$300
- 2- Panasonic KX-P4410 laser printer ~$600
- 3- OKIDATA-400 LED printer ~$600
-
- My first choice (being stingy :-)) was the $300 HP's DeskJet-500.
- But when I tried a demo unit, the print was a bit foggy. Is this
- what I can expect from a $300 printer or was it the demo unit? I would
- be interested to hear from people who have used this printer.
-
- Also, I would like any feedback on my other choices (Like
- how better/worse is a LED from a Laser, when both are advertised as
- 300dpi) or any other printers you may have in mind.
-
- Since I can't afford Postscript, what is the standard I should
- look for? I hear PCL, HP-IIP etc.
-
- What are the hidden costs (Cartridge etc?). How much memory
- is sufficient etc.
-
- I would appriciate any and all comments/feedbacks emailed or posted.
-
- Thanks Much,
- Var.
