And Then There Was the New Printer

I do not know why this particular model of HP printer was on such good sale, but it was. And since my previous HP Color LaserJet no longer wanted to print, it seemed like a good time to get the replacement.

So I now have a smaller, lighter -- I was able to carry it up the stairs by myself -- multi-function color laser printer for which there are actually modern drivers available. Installing it was remarkably simple, especially as compared to some of the gyrations that I've gone through to install all of the non-printing functionality of the old printer.

And it is so much faster. :)

Which HP printer did you get? I am kinda looking into a color laser for the house, since it will be cheaper than the ink cartridges are running.

HP M477fdn. This printer requires a USB or Ethernet connection, but it will print duplex without having to flip the sheets yourself. And it's $399 from a variety of sources, including Amazon. The wireless, non-duplex version is slightly cheaper, but I have network connectivity available, so getting this version was a no-brainer.
