LASER PRINTERS

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

I have a lexmark z33 inkjet printer that I don't often use so that when I do
want to print something the ink is dried in the nozzels ( I think ). I want
to know if the same sort of thing happens with laser printers as I'm
thinking of getting one. Is a second hand one a good idea?

I have always been pro-laser. The only advantage an inkjet has is the low
cost
and that quickly disapears when it is time to buy a cartridge. You can get
real
good deals on used HP 4s and prior. No, you won't have any problems with
a laser not being used for weeks at a time. As long as it not subjected to
direct
sunlight or low or high humidity. Stay away from the cheaper non-HP models.
Just my opinion.
