The model we use at home is Brother HL-2070N. I dont reckon it has 2 trays though, just 1. I dont know what 8000+ duty cycle earnings, but I just thought I’d suggest the one we have.

I would look at the P3005 series and the P2015 series from HP. My customers have had excellent luck with them on page yield, and quality of craftmanship.

I would suggest HP and Lexmark as they are the only manufactures from your list that include a standard 2nd tray. From HP the LaserJet 4250tn (available with duplexing in the dtn): 2 Paper trays standard with a 50 page bypass tray, Network ready for MAC and Windows, 1 year replacement warranty, and Duty Cycle 200,000. The 2 hp printers mentioned above have 2nd trays available as add-ons but are not standard.

The Lexmark T640dtn is the additional printer I would suggest. It has 2 paper trays and a 100 page bypass, Network ready for Windows, Mac, Linux, 1 year replacement warranty and the duty cycle is 100000.

Samsung, Brother, and List do not have standard 2 trays even if they have models that are expandable (add-on trays).

In terms of Duty Cycle I want to make apparent what that earnings…

Duty cycles: The maximum treatment level per month for a printer is the duty cycle. This rating takes into account printer specifics such as the paper-handling capacity and
cartridge replacement. Running a printer at the top end of its duty cycle will require users to intervene with the printer to replace supplies more often. You should choose a
printer with a duty cycle that exceeds your current production needs by a substantial margin to minimize interventions and maximize printer life expectancy. – This is taken from:

http://www.hp.com/sbso/productivity/howto/it_networkcolor/it_networkcolor.pdf

A excellent rule of thumb is to take a printers rated duty cycle and apportion by 5 to get maximum number of prints per month average use.

What do you reckon? Answer below!

I used to use a List colour printer (the one that came in the package deal with a MacBook this past summer), but it broke. I’ve been trying to hook up an older laser printer to my MacBook, but when I try to install the software, a message pops up saying “You cannot open the application ‘Samsung Laser Printer installer’ because it is not supported on this system.” I tried installing a driver from Samsung’s website, but I still get the same error message when I try to install the software. What should I do?

Answer by Kcantrell
Make sure you are using the assess version (Intel or PPC) of the driver. If the printer is real ancient you may not be able to get an Intel version of the driver.
