take it take Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I'm looking for home office printers (either inkjet or laser) that supports network printing. Any brand is fine, except HP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deveant Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Kyocera Lasers Printers, they are the best that i have used, compared to a few others there little more expensive, but when it comes down to an office ive found them to be reliable (not so much the colour lasers though). The newest that ive brought is a FS-3900DN, and it works nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
take it take Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 It's a little more pricey, but I do like your recommendation. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's what the specs are showing me: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controll...p;modelid=14881 What I meant was that I can directly connect an ethernet cable to the printer and print.

Couldn't you do this with any ethernet to usb adapter and keep any existing printers you had? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use it as a Network Printer. I completely forgot that i plugged it in to my USR Router. Sorry :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Kitchen Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 In my experience most of those little network printer dongles completely suck. I've tried the small inexpensive ones from netgear and linksys and both are horrid. Unless you like manually installing IP print services on client computers I'd stay away. Unless of course you're only concerned about a small home network and are willing to deal with the pain. I'm just saying I've tried them in a corporate environment where the faster you can install a network printer the better. Darren's Installing Network Printers really really quickly tip: Win+R, ComputerNameOrIP, Key down to printer or press the first letter of it's name until it's selected, ALT+F, N, Y, ALT+Space, C Get that sequence down to under 30 seconds and you'll be blowing user's minds left and right. "Don't ask, it's fixed" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Don't ask, it's fixed" Yes, for the home environment. Printing within the home network is the main purpose. How much were the dongles you've used?
