Juan, If you are looking for a laser printer, HP is still the best. Most have PostScript and PCL built-in. Toner cartridges are relatively easy to find. You can buy them with JetDirect interfaces and duplexers. And HP printers are all built like Mercedes. If you are looking for a color inkjet printer, HP would _not_ be your best choice because if it ever breaks you must ship it back to them for repair. The last time I checked, HP does not sell inkjet printer parts to local repair shops. Several friends have bought Canon inkjets and like them. I personally prefer Epsons. My Epson Stylus Color 980N has a built-in JetDirect-type interface and is very well supported by FC1. --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL
