College printer?

I second the laser option. I bought a toner cartridge before Freshman year, and I am still on the same one going into my Senior year. I'd recommend a HP laserjet. There aren't many instances where you need to print in color, at least thats what the case was for me.
HL1440, thats the printer I've got and I bought it freshman year which was....2003. I've only had to replace the cart once, and it lasts for something like 3000 pages. If you buy the extended cart, it lasts for something like 6000 pages. Something tells me that the next time I replace the cartridge will be way beyond when I graduate.
I'm thrilled to bits with the printer and it's relatively cheap. Cheap to buy, cheap to run, great quality.
Being that it is now 2006 I'm sure Brother has replaced the 1440 with a newer model, so make sure you do your research, but I'm still putting my hat in for the 1440.
No matter which printer model you go for, I'm seconding the laser comments from the above two posts. Laser printers make so much damn sense at school because color printing is so rare. If you ever do need to do color printing you can always go to your school's comp lab and print there.

MJCfromCT said:I have to pay per page at my school. It isn't that much at all, but the convenience of having a printer in my room is worth the price of the printer (IMO).
yeah, it's a few cents per page. I agree also about the convenience....I couldn't imagine not having any printer.
