Anyone have thoughts on a color laser printer? I’ve got a high schooler with the occasional need to print in color, but I’m not sure if it’s worth getting a color laser or just going somewhere to print for those odd jobs, and just getting a regular laser printer.

If its an oddjob evey once in a while, try not to buy a printer. The cheap ones use ink that dry out if you dont use it, and the lasers that will do what you want run in the $300-400 range.

Try the local library. They often have cheap or free printing. Also a great way to expose your kid to a public service.

Mine works well, I have a LaserJet Pro 400 and I’ve put 3rd party toner in it. It just shows it as non-genuine HP toner and continues to print.
