[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Printer Recommendations

[S Ou]

100% laser is the way to go.
Staples have some periodic deals where they give you another $50 credit for
turning in your old printer also.

If the print count is very low (very occasional) try sending to their
printer (e-mail) and see whether the quality is good enough. At the print
center $0.59 per page.
