Public PC printers -Reply

[Bruce Hinman]

I agree with the technicians statement below. I have been a computer
technician for 20 years and I have worked with laser printers for the past
ten years. Reused paper and recycled paper will cause problems in laser
printers. Laser printers should be used in areas where speed, quantity,
and quality are essential. They are not meant to save money.
My opinion, based on experience.
