I'm needing a new printer at home.
Currently, I have an old Epson R800 inkjet, it starting to show its age, paper doesn't pickup etc.I also have a Epson V600 scanner on my desk. My eldest also has a inkjet all in one printer/scanner.
Because they both rarely get used, the inkjets dry out and go through a gallon of ink to re-prime and clear the nozzles.
I feel it is time to get a new printer and think that I will go for a colour laser or a colour laser all in one.
I am thinking probably HP (or Epson), with >= 1200dpi printing resolution, reasonable time to 1st page and might go for an all-in one printer/scanner. Interface needs to ethernet and/or wireless.
Any recommendations? So many to choose from.

Well it would depend on the amount you are printing but the HP3700 here in the office just works, with out complaint (or new toner) the one thing is HP stands for Highly Priced!

I'd find someone who know about printer inks/toner cartridges and look at the prices of those first. I can replace my Epsom Multi-Function inject for the cost of two sets of coloured ink.
If only we knew someone who knows about the printer related consumables business.

Strange you should say that I seem to remember a beloved child hood terror carrying a bucket full of something, I'm sure he could help....

I have a Brother 9840CDW, which isn't made anymore, but it runs like a tank and does what I need it to do. It also does duplex printing, which is good for saving paper.
Looking at Brother's website, any of the MFCs here would be good.

I just remembered (I think anyway), that Dalek Dave has a printer supplies side business. I bet he could also give you a good recommendation too.

We have a couple of HP 4700 units here at the office, and they've been excellent workhorses. We use them for high quality graphics work, as well as monthly billing - about 5,000 invoices a month - and they just keep on running. They're expensive to feed, but cheaper than most other brands. Every few years we have to replace the fuser unit, but that's neither difficult nor expensive.

I went with an HP 5000dtn series so the boss can print up to 11x17 proofs for her design business and anyone on the network can print to it. Also duplexes. Supplies are a minor fortune, but with it being a tax write-off, it doesn't hurt so bad, and it is not too often (30000 pages or so). I was able to get it used and it just keeps on churning out the pages.
Personally I keep trying to get her to spend her 'company' money on one of the poster sized photo printers, but she hasn't been persuaded.

These are the most ridiculously overly complicated undocumented assemblies I have ever seen , short of Sagem fingerprinting libraries.
If you ever worked with these you will know what I am talking about
I mean you pull a list of work items but you need to iterate them , and how do you iterate? , you have to get the ids and how do you get the ids ? you have to iterate them.
Useless , if the guys who wrote this read this post If your mission was to make it a pineapple up the bum for 3rd parties to integrate into TFS, well mission accomplished !
I do like TFS Though

TFS not the integration libs, at least its source control works nicely, ever worked with tortoise SVN ? thats a whole diferent size of pineapple

I thought it was just me with tortoise SVN, some people here rave about it, others (myself included) rant at it. Cue the song the guy who sits opposite me came up with "Squash the tortoise, get the tortoise"...

Tortoise was fun it was 50% development , 50% fixing conflicts and a lot of praying hoping that no one used the merge feature.
It did however force me to get familianr on how project files work , like when 2 devs work on the solution and one adds a new reference and the other one adds a new file aaah good times spending my saturdays fixing it becuase our manager wanted everything to be able to work clean and compiles traight from a SVN import

hahahaha look at that , somebody did a Google search.
Now why didnt I think of that
Just 1 question if i may .
did you actually try this or assume ?
the compiler gives one a much less pleasing result when you try to enumerate

I haven't actually tried this.......I did have a look at the class names though on the MSDN pages, and WorkItem, WorkItemCollection both exist, and represents the WorkItems located within a WorkItemStore.
There are also your usual smattering of getEnumerator etc. so it is a good chance that my guess isn't far off the mark

You were on the right track though, 20 lines of code later
it still needs a text query so dig into database or guess the fields.
It did help thanks

I tend to pay more attention to the comments of a BBC news article than the actual article. I kind of feel if every politican decided to read these comments, things might actually get done in the world.
On a less serious out of context note, one comment made me smile this morning on an artcile about the "Great gaming war of 2013!"
For your enjoyment or bore:

"Behind most game players there's a person (usually a mum or wife) doing all the work to support this addictive habit - washing, cleaning, cooking, shopping, decorating etc etc"
Have you ever considered that the wife might be capable of both cooking dinner and hacking a dragon to death in a game? I bet you used to be an adventurer once too, before you took an arrow in the knee.

Thanks for the FB invites, once I find my FB password or reset it again I will accept. Rarely use it but since having to change it due to some European bastard logging in to it (or maybe FB having a look at my weak as Yankee Beer old password) and Facebook blocking it till I changed my password I now have a blind reindeer with no testicles.
Funny thing is Linked In gave me a list at the beginning of the week of people I should link with and all four of you were in the first two pages.
I blame Maunder!

You were the only CPian from the first two pages not to give me an invite. But then again we're already linked aren't we? Or is that Linked In we're linked and not FB?
Faarrrkkkk it, I'm getting another beer.

LinkedIn, and I think Google+.
I have an FB account, but I don't use it.
Mind you, I don't use my LinkedIn or G+ accounts much either. I guess I'm just antisocial!
