[Discuss] color laser printer

[Rich Braun]

I swear by my Ricoh Aficio SP C410DN.  Drivers for Linux/Windows/Mac work
easily, the thing is built like a tank, and each toner color has two separate
elements:  one is a bottle of powder rated for 15,000 pages, and the other is
the roller mechanism rated for at least 3x as long.  I get hardcopy for less
than a nickel a page; haven't had to buy many supplies in the 6 or 7 years of
ownership.

Ricoh probably has improved its products in that timeframe, I haven't followed
them because I haven't needed to.  Just Plain Works.  Tip: monitor your
supplies (with Nagios or whatever your favorite monitoring daemon is) and
order new ones before need.  This printer's Ethernet support for monitoring
makes it easy, along with plugins
(http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Search/1/printer#/).
