[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Printer Recommendations

[Martin C. Martin]

From the [Wirecutter review:](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-cheap-printers/)

> Laser printers are well suited for people who don’t need to print often. That’s because toner cartridges don’t clog like ink tanks do, so you can go months between print jobs without any issue.

>

> Laser printers also print faster and produce sharper text, and their output doesn’t run or smear if it gets wet, the way some inkjet prints might.

They also have reviews specifically of [laser printers](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-laser-printer/) and [all-in-one printers.](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-all-in-one-printer/)

None explains the "whys and wherefores" of the competing technologies. Perhaps someone in this group is aware of an article explaining the differences between various manufacturers/models, or perhaps has some exceptionally good or bad experiences. If so, I would appreciate your comments.
