[HM] printers: photo or resolution?

[David Crandon]

If you are printing just general text stuff, I'd go with the HP's for
one reason. They can print on both sides of the paper automatically
which reduces your paper cost and is just a heck of a lot nicer when you
are printing something over 10 pages.
