Gone Printing...
By Wolf Paulus <wolf@wolfpaulus.com>
I am not in the publishing biz nor do I write
books and have no need for a really good printer. However, my old
laser's (HP LaserJet 2P) DRAM would fail ever so often and now it
was running out of toner. The decisions to either buy a new printer or
a new cartridge for the old one wasn't that hard.
A couple of year's ago I had a bad feeling about Samsung products
but that all changed when I got my cool Yepp MP-3 player two years ago
and ever since I follow the company and their product releases more
closely. Now last month Fry's had this really good deal on a
Samsung Laser Printer ML-1750, which had about the configuration, I
was looking for:
-
Parallel Port to connect it to my Router/PrintServer
-
USB Port to connect it to my PowerBook G4
-
Printing speed is up to 17ppm
-
Resolution: 1200x600 dpi
-
Processor: 166 MHz RISC
-
Memory: 8MB
-
Compatibility: Windows 95/98/Me/NT4/2000/XP, Linux, Mac OS
-
…and it is really small: 13.9"x14.6"x7.7"
(WxDxH)
So far it has been a great experience using this printer. It's
fast, the printed documents look sharp, and I can finally print 2
pages on a letter size page.
