Absolutely nothing against HP Deskjets. In fact, my present printer is the _original_ Deskjet. Until I started to have a problem with the paper feed last week, I never had any trouble with it. When my father was getting his first computer last month, I suggested he get an HP Deskjet. The reason I want a laser printer is because it would save me going into the office when I want to print off a paper on the $$$$$ laser printer there. Deskjets are nice, but for real professional quality, a laser still can't be beat. Looking at the papers I receive from colleagues, they all use laser printers--it just goes with the territory. Up to now I've only used my printer for paper drafts and personal correspondence. Final drafts and professional correspondence have always been printer at my department--only because the output looks better. Now that lasers are so cheap, I can save quite a bit of gas if I buy one for myself. Why one of the Xerox lasers? I read somewhere that these can print from DOS as well as Windows whereas the HP's are Windows only. Lynn
