Hi there!

I want to buy a printer, but I'm not sure which one I should get. I will try
to describe what I want as good as possible.
The printer should print black/white as good as possible. That is, if I buy an
inkjet, I don't want to see all those stripes. It would be nice to be able to
print in color, but I don't need it. In case of an inkjet, an optional
color-kit would be good enough. I want to be able to print quite complex
things (not large XXX-pictures, but complicated formulas, tables, graphs and
things like that, so 512 Kb mem on a laser is not enough).

I suppose a laser would be the best, but since I'm a student, I can't afford
that much. So, what type of inkjet should I buy, or would it be better to look
for a second-hand laser (I could get a Brother HL630 for about $225)?

Greetinx,
    Koen Vermeer
