[Hidden-tech] printer blues - I have a HP Design Jet10 PS.

[Robin MacRostie]

Thanks Robert :)

Oh.  Mr Green.  That could  work.   However, you should know - Once I  
tried to sell him my old  G4 tower which was perfectly good.  He would  
only take a donation.   He connects entering foreign students with  
computers.

On another note, I decided that the designjet  was not really paying  
for itself.  My main use for it is large format comps. for clients.   
When I need a lot of printing, I use a service bureau or a copy shop.   
For a couple of large format prints I would have to spend a lot of  
$2.50s to justify a $1200 printer, not to mention 4 cartridges at  
$40-50 a pop.

I'm a HP freak.   I'd like to see what you think of this one on their  
website.  HP Officejet 6000   CB051A#B1H
http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/product_detail.do?hpweb_printable=true&product_code=CB051A%23B1H&storeName=storefronts&landing=printer&category=Officejet&tab=accessories

  I'm looking for a printer with good color work, that can handle a  
variety of papers, not necessarily a laser.   I realize that there is  
no such thing as an extended warrantee for a printer like this, but   
look at the price.  I'm going to try to "chat" with sales rep to see   
why this one is  on sale.  I think it is reasonable that  a printer  
that doesn't have to churn out hundreds of copies should last at least  
3 years.   I don't want to find out in a month that that there are no  
drivers.

What else would you ask the rep?

thanks
Robin
