[G4] Laser Printers?

[Brian Conner]

Warning: Most of these cheap laser printers have a problem with alignment,
particularly with smaller sized paper. When I use the HP LaserJet 1200 or
the Brother 5040 for printing checks, the checks often are not printed
straight across the check, but at an angle. But I've seen this problem even
on 8 1/2 X 11 paper.

I picked up a HP Laserjet 1200 a couple of years ago (models change almost
monthly!)  Been very good - usual HP stuff, i.e., never breaks, just keeps
on chugging.  

Just a note about newer HP printers, though (I also have a wide, cp 1700
inkjet model):  Don' throw away the instruction materials!!  Some of the
disassembly methods are literally "Yank real hard" to remove certain
components.  You'd never get there, if you are like me, without the manual,
looking for levers, clips, screws or pins for each component.

       I am looking to purchase an inexpensive laser printer for my system.
Has anyone had any experiences with the low end products? HP, Samsung, and
Brother all offer laser printers in the $150-$300 range. ..........
