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

["McGranahan, Jamen \(Library\)" <Jamen dot McGranahan at nashville dot gov>]

Yes Phil, you can print to a network printer within Millennium (page 104056).  And as a result, you can actually print to any printer.  You are not restricted to Innovative's recommended printer, though that probably does provide the best quality for the tasks.  But you are right - you have to balance need with the budget.  Here's a caveat, though - I have only used Okidatas, HP's, & Epson receipt printers with Millennium.  But it doesn't mean others will not work.  I just haven't had any experience with it, though.  It would make sense that any letter-size printer should work fine.

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

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
