I’ve tested an HP P1606dn printer and I can get some functionality out of it, but there are issues. For example, I am only able to get one font to work with it, and I can’t get the page margins set correctly to print a full 80 characters across the page. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> I’ve also tested a couple of Canon printers that have host-based PCL, but wasn’t able to get them working very well.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> I had been recommending HP 2055dn printers, but they are getting hard to find and expensive. Originally they were in the $300.00 range, but now the only new 2055dn’s I can find are in the $700.00 range. Most of my customers don’t like to purchase reconditioned machines.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> My customers need 2 printer options: A low-to-medium-priced “personal” size desktop printer (roughly $300.00 max) , and a medium-priced workgroup printer (up to $1,000.00, preferably $500.00 to $700.00).<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> They would probably consider any brands of laser printer.
