some have harped on in the trade press recently about the price of laser printers. why doesn't it ever go down? well it just has! enter our next guest, the HP LaserJet 4300tn. it's cheap to run (well reasonably) and it's very fast indeed. it'll print up to 45 pages per minute too, which is really quick if you think about it.

it is heavy! yes boy oh yes. it weighs 27kg, which for our american cousins, is around the weight of a suckling pig. however, compared to other similar printers, it's light! so get it now. whatever.

it'll take a parallel connection or ethernet. to be honest, it's one of the best around. print quality is excellent and the toner lasts ages. it should be guaranteed to last until the end of the ink age, that'd be good. but it's not.

it's got 80megs of ram so you can send it loads of jobs and then shut down your computer and it'll keep chugging along like an ole steem trayne ma'am.

it's discontinued on amazon but available from www.microwarehouse.co.uk for 1400 including vat. not bad but there isn't any colour option, just black and white, fine if you're printing work documents but not so good for colour stuff (obviously)

design is very good, quite typically computery but it's reliable and there are many features to keep you amused. max resolution is 1200 by 1200, pretty good, that's professional my brother, it really is.

when i imagine the ideal user for this printer i think of a group of men in sharp suits printing sales reports for their vicious lizard-tongued boss. ok ok i am one of those men it's true, i make gazillions of pounds and i use this printer.

and i'll tell you what: it's never let me down under pressure.

This is just useless, terribly written, awful spelling, it just imparts no information at all. Well Done!!!!

Again i found this very hard to read as you have not used capital letters at begining of new sentances and its very confusing to read.
