----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Once again I am in the position of having to look at printing
options in our IBM Labs.  Up until now we have been using
dot matrix printers (first HP Ruggedwriters, then Epson and
NEC 24 pin printers).  The Ruggedwriters were slow but absolute
workhorses; the Epsons and NEC simply don't seem to be able to
take the constant use and abuse.

I'd like to switch either to DeskJets or LaserJets but my
management is very concerned about the cost of consumables.
Has anyone got any information about this that they can share
with me?

Also, if you are using either DeskJets or LaserJets, do you
have limited usage (i.e. only when consultants are around,
per page cost) or is it wide-open usage?

Thanks for any info you can provide me.
