[mdlug] Inexpensive printer recommendation

[Ron Blanchett]

there are two inexpensive hp color laser printers in the market place:

HP Color LaserJet CP1215 Printer and HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni Printer
the first runs around 300 and the second runs around 400.
both do 12 ppm black and 8 ppm color and 600x600 dpi
the second is network ready

As far as I am concerned both are a deal for a color laser.
