Hello Wayne - 

WC>> With these sorts of tips there may yet be a LASER printer
WC>> in my future :-) Of course I'll look for a used one at the
WC>> right price. 

CA>> I have an HP Laser printer, not sure which model anymore.
CA>> I don't have it connected to any of my computers since I
CA>> never print anything. It's quite large and heavy and only
CA>> B&W. The only advantage I am aware of is it can handle
CA>> light cardboard for printing. 

WC> How about the toner doesn't run when it gets wet as does
WC> bubble jet ink. 

But if I remember correctly it is water soluble just not quite
as easilly. 

WC> At school we had an old IBM LASER the size of a desk. 

The one I have is about the size of four bubble jet printers.
Twice as high and twice the 'footprint'. 

WC> I don't need color but it would be nice to print out a lot
WC> of man pages and how_to's in Linux and organize into a
WC> manual. 

I don't know if man pages are in color or not? I did review
some documentation recently using a new NROFF and was shocked
to discover nroff could do colored text. I had not seen that
before using older versions of nroff. :-) 

The HP will stop printing if it begins to overheat then restart
after it cools down. I only saw that happen once and I think it
was at around 3-400 pages? 

If I remember correctly the man pages are compressed and there
are a staggering number of man 'pages' with many being multiple
print pages for one man 'page'.
