Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: printers compatible with Gnu&Linux

Hi :)
Yes, that is exactly right.  I'd forgotten the old name for them.  Before they started being 
plugged into computer networks a few years ago they were called copying machines.  They generally 
cost a lot less to run than smaller printers that sit on the desktop.  The toner-costs/page are a 
lot lower and they are usually a lot faster and less noisy (at least when they are new and if they 
are working properly).  There are colour ones around now but offices still often get the b&w ones 
for the extremely low cost.  

At my place we have an excessively high quality colour printer separately but it really should only 
be used for flyers, posters and other marketing materials.  Our old copier is such a pain to use 
that everyone has started using the colour one for trivial things and the toner for that costs "an 
arm and a leg"  
Regards from 
Tom :)
