[Discuss] Printer recommendations sought

I don't know whether this needs to be said in this era, but get a
networked one.  It's a lot easier to let another computer use it than if
it's a 'shared' printer connected to a computer.

I second the recommendation of Brother printers.  My more than 5 year
old Brother 5250DN has been as problem-free as you could ask for.  (That
is, you do have to give it paper and ink and a new drum every so often.)

The duplexing works better with some paper than with others, but there
are pretty cheap brands that work well.  My current favorite is the
Boise X-9 that Microcenter sells for $3/ream.
