#NEC Printers
2 messages in this thread
I use the NEC P2200 and find it works great. Not the most rugged unit on
earth but for home use it suffices. The NLQ fonts are as good as they get. I
use the front paper feed option all the time and really appreciate it. The P6
driver works fine but graphic dumps are slow as molasses and kinda crummy. If
you wanna do graphic printing you'll need two printers (or assume a better
driver/printer.device combo will appear). It was a good choice for me cuz I
already had the Canon Inkjet and wanted a good NLQ printer at a good price. —

Thanks, Art. When I talked with the salesman at the printer store, he said the
P2200 wouldn't stand up to what I want to do (I have a WP letter run with a
mail merge for 300 letters for my local community association–a (hopefully!)
one-time affair). He claimed it would overheat after about 50 letters and
quit. He was trying to sell me on the P6, saying it's built to last. But for
an extra $130, I don't know. The features on the P2200 look nice and, besides,
after this big run I don't expect to be going into direct mail production–I
use it for home use primarily–letters, term papers and such.
Any further comments would be appreciated, and thanks again for responding!
