Followup on the HP. I was around for those 1100 printers. They all failed and jammed up all time time, and were a really bad product. And who could forget those vertical feed 5L and 6L printers and others which would jam up and take multiple sheets at a time. (We had a bunch of those too). On our latest batch of HP 1300s, the initial toners are giving out and ghosting on all of our printouts. I've had to replace 3 so far, but HP has been good about Fed Exing new toners and return waybilling the old ones. I looked at the Samsung printers, but the yields were kind of low for my taste, and there was some negative comments on them. We have a bunch of HP 1200s, and now I'm a little nervous about them. One of them just died, the plastic roller came undone and is torn (looks like a shiny piece of plastic paper). The Dell is replacing it. HP offered to send us a HP 1300 for $279, I said no thanks. They were only under a 1 year warranty. PM John Valenti wrote: > I was going to kick in my 2 cents on this ... > > I've been buying Samsung printers for about two years now.
