Looking For a Printer

[Nerwin]

Hey guys i'm looking for a nice printer thats under 100 dollors that have a RJ-45 jack on it.

Network printers usually aren't that cheap...

[CoffeeFiend]

Yes, and I'm looking for a super fast dual core CPU under 100$

Seriously, I have yet to see a "nice" printer under 100$, much less a networked one. Usually the network card [jetdirect] alone costs at least that much by itself.

Get a normal printer and attach it to an old computer and link it to your network

Same here, I wouldn't go with an injet period. Not exactly what I call a nice printer...

Good enough if you print 5 pages a day or so .

computerMan, how much are you going to print any way? And it´s in Color?

[Nerwin]

Well, I dont need a laser Jet, just want a printer that i can print some thing once in a while.

Edit:

I dont print much only when I need to, I do not print pictures unless there very small, I would go and buy a Photo printer if i was going to print pictures.

i was looking for one of these a while ago, but like all other said, the price is just crazy.

I sure said "more expensive than 100$", but surely not crazy. In fact, I do think they're decently priced @ ~100$ for the network module. I mean, you're getting a complete embedded system, not just a network jack. There's a decent with processor running on there (ARM or otherwise), which is usually running a lot of stuff: often a web server (http/https), ftp server and/or tftp server, telnet server, SNMP (different versions), IPP, NCP, NDS, LPD, SLP, DHCP client and BOOTP, and other protocols including proprietary ones (for remote management/config namely) or features like IGMP snooping. And all this not only over TCP/IP, but often supporting other network protocols too, like Novell IPX/SPX or AppleTalk. Newer (recent) versions include even more stuff, like IPv6 support, SSL/TLS/IPSec, 802.1x authentication, etc. And developping all this software to run on an embedded system isn't exactly trivial (it's not quite like just installing apache on your box - you even have to write the TCP/IP stack, OS and all). And there's more hardware on the card, like a network chipset, memory to keep the config settings and firmware (usually RAM and flash), etc. All that, often coming in interchangeable (e.g. ethernet or usb modules or modules with both - or even wireless nowadays)/standard slots (EIO), warranty, support, firmware updates, software for remote admin, etc. I just can't see how this should (or could) cost less than that, and it's well worth it.

I love my laserjet

[ripken204]

well the cheapest i could find was $150, but thost ones just rly sucked. you needed to pay at least $200 for a decent one.

I'd expect that answer from someone in Lower Slobovia, but not here in the US of A.

I can buy a great little Epson Photo R220 at Staples for $99, and it even prints directly on CD/DVD's.

I have one, and its big brother the Photo R340.

Both can print in Kodak quality and both print on many different media, including CD's.

I also have an Epson CX3200 multifunction printer that cost me only $69 (factory refurbished).

Check your local office supply stores like Staples, Office Depot, Office Max, or even Wal-Mart, before you give up your search.

You can get some fabulous bargains directly from Epson's web site on close outs and factory refurbs.

Happy Hunting!

Does anybody know if Canon makes those manual feed printers? I need one for my laptop, so I can print out invoices on the go and such
