I am looking for a replacement color printer
Again, thank you HayZee518 - and, so the opportunity does not pass by, let me say - Please! Have a Happy Holiday.
I have been involved in my research and have come up with four possibilities -
I would like to pass them by you and would certainly appreciate your input.
I don't believe I will be able to get out of this area much before Monday - I believe "they" are expecting a decent day on Monday. And, even that is not a matter of "life and death" - I have been able to "make do" with the HP LaserJest P1006, which prints only black.
The following four options have seemed to present themselves.
I had found data on the web concerning the HP Color Laser Jet CP2025 and the HP Color Laser Jet CP1215, which I had mentioned earlier. The CP1215 is 10" high, which might be the best option of the two because it is 10" high - and certainly would nestle comfortably into the area it will be assigned to.
The CP1215 write-up seems to indicate that it will print a multitude of documents - including the 3"x5" - 8" x 14" and envelopes. It would need the USB connection.
The CP2025 is actually 12.7" high and would have to sit to the front area of the desk - because the HP P1006 sits on the shelf above.
I also found two HP InkJet Printers that might be worth considering - The HP OfficeJet Pro K8600 printer - it uses the USB 2.0 connection. It did look interesting, but I did read a "negative" report on the website.
So you don't have to look for it - that "negative" report read - "the K8600 is So thirsty. HP claims it will print up to 2,450 sheets before the black cartridge runs out and 1,700 before the color cartridges run dry. What a joke! I have printed a total of 218 sheets and I had to replace all cartridges and am about to start using my 3rd yellow one!" (That was posted 5-10-2008.) It was the only posting at that site.
I have also found data on the HP OfficeJet Pro K5400 Color InkJet Printer - I believe the connection is for USB 1.0??? - however, another source indicates the connection is for the USB2.0??? No matter, the two HP OfficeJets do work with the Windows XP operating system.
Both of the HP OfficeJet's have a low profile - and I believe will provide the print options I am looking for.
I am open to any suggestions/information that you can provide.
