As you're in France it shouldn't be a problem, just watch for the |
22 |
currency conversion. They've been about for years dealing in refurbished |
23 |
kit, although I think these printers are new. |

All our lasers have been Dell, and there's been minimal problems with |
26 |
them. Our current one is the Dell 1765 multi-function, which isn't on |
27 |
the list :-( I think our current printers are the 4th and 5th we've had |
28 |
from them. |

HPs and Epsons are allegedly linux-friendly. |

One thing to look out for - do you do a lot of scanning? One of the |
33 |
reasons I like the Dells is that they have what I call "push scanning" - |
34 |
configure them to connect via Samba, then you can put the original in |
35 |
the feeder, select "scan" on the front panel, and the scan appears |
36 |
automagically on the computer. With both HP and Epson, you usually have |
37 |
to put the document in the scanner, then go to the computer and run the |
38 |
scan software. A pain in the arse. |
