My
beloved HP2000C workhorse seems to have gone titsup.com last night so I
need to
start looking round for a decent replacement printer. Ideally
another
2000C or 2500C would be great (as I have small stocks of spare consumables
at
£30 an ink cart!) so if anyone on the list knows where there is one going
(they'll be secondhand now of course as they've been discontinued for a
couple
of years) then could they give me a shout?
Alternatively does anyone have any suggestions for a suitable
replacement? My criteria are:
1)
Decent paper handling. Should store the paper flat and supported so it
doesn't
"sag" or get dusty and should ideally hold 150 sheets or
more.
2)
Separate ink carts for the 4 colours. I'm not looking for a photo printer
as I
have an Epson 1290 for that - this means I'm not looking for a printer
which has
5 or 6 "colour" carts in addition to black ... just the usual
CMY.
3)
Parallel I/F - I hang the printer off a network print server so a parallel
I/F
is a must however I guess I could hook it via USB to my server and just
share it
if necessary.
4)
Automatic duplexing would be usefull.
So far
I've been looking at the HP 2200 and 1700 series - the 2200 doesn't support
automatic duplexing though and the 1700 is an A3 printer (which I rarely
need).
Colour
lasers are to big/expensive for what I need and I would guess for a decent
2200
series (probably a 2250) or for a 1700D I'd be looking at about £400 so
that's
the kind of ballpark ... if anyone has any suggestions then I'd love to
hear
'em.
