That's a good idea, but when I bought a laser printer (a Brother) last year, I was disappointed with its quality. (Seemed dim and/or pixelated.) Any recommendations for a reasonable laser?


If all you want is a printer, the old HPs are really good. The Laserjet 4 in particular was a high water mark in quality. You can find them fairly cheaply, and if you fix the one problem they have (accordion jams), which is not very difficult and requires about $20 worth of parts, they will basically last forever, and are cheap to run.

The output quality from these printers is about the best I've seen from a laser.
