      We all hate printers,.. I'm not a fan either. I just realized with adding three printers this week or next I'll have to update two or three print servers and then the users.

      But - For a color printer, is it still best practice to create two printers? One Mono and one Color?

      Or just let the user deal with it and only create one?

        Probably depends on printing patterns. We print VERY little, and only a few people, so for us a single printer and the end user is trusted to print what makes sense in the printer setup is what makes sense. If you have a huge office and only some people should print in color and you print a lot, then two printers would make sense.

          Looking at it from that aspect - good plan. As much as I would love to rid myself of the printers it is a heavy need. They print all of the pick or pack slips for products to be shipped and they the commercial invoices - which have to use color.

          I am only getting these three printers and they ruined five HP Color printers by buying and using sub-standard paper. Paper was such crap, I spent about eighteen hours tearing one printer down to the transfer belt and finding nothing. Of course, canned air on nearly every part of the disassembly could have help.

          These three new printers will be on a service contract - so someone local can service them,.. or replace them. and I won't have to keep dropping upwards of two grand a printer every sixteen months.
