[IUG] Circ notice printers: laser that's not LJ 4250n

[Phil Shirley <pshirley at CuyahogaFallsLibrary dot org>]

Has anyone printed circ notices (overdues, etc.) to a laser printer 
other than the recommended (on manual page # 101133) HP LaserJet 4250N, 
especially a lower-model printer like maybe a LaserJet 1022 that's 
connected to a JetDirect box, or perhaps something completely different 
like a Toshiba copier?  Currently we print about 150-200 notices a week 
(actually bills; we don't print overdues at all) on our old Okidata 
printer but we need to replace it.  I like the idea of switching to 
plain paper on a laser printer (we already have a machine to fold the 
printouts), but I'm balking at spending $1,300 (for a LaserJet 4250N) 
for such a small amount of printing.

Also, it looks like I can print circ. notices from Millennium (by 
choosing the right the "form printer") to a printer that's set up as a 
network printer on the III server or to a printer that's set up as a 
local printer on the PC--is that right?  (We print in a round-about way 
from the character-based system right now.)

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Phil
