Dr. Josue,

I don't have a list of printers I recommend since these things change year after year. But here are some tips to help out.

-- If you want to print glossy reports, go with inkjet. If you care about volume, go with laser.

-- Always consider the PPP (Price Per Page) of a printer. PPP is determined by how many pages a toner cartridge is rated at and the price of the cartridge. What you'll find very quickly is the more expensive printers you've been ignoring because of sticker shock have a lower PPP and longer lifespan than the cheaper printers you've been buying.

--- Avoid all-in-one printers unless you really need all that functionality. A "workhorse" printer should be just a printer.

--- Black and white printers are your friend. Get an inkjet for the occasional glossy report, but use the black and white laser for all your every day stuff. Unless you just have to have color.

--- Lifespan of a printer is determined how many pages printed, not years of service. A printer that printed 1 million pages but lasted only 2 years had a much higher lifespan than the printer that printed 150,000 pages but lasted 4 years. So, depending on the cost of your printers, how many pages did they print? If you are printing 1,000 pages a month, that 2 - 4 years may be pretty good depending on printer price.

Happy Printing!
