IT people: Best color laser for the $$ for enterprise use?
I'm still cutting teeth in this IT unit as spv. Need to refresh some printers. We have mostly HP's and a few Rico Aficios. The Rico's don't seem to hold up.
Looking for suggestions on some workhorse laser printers for less $$ than HP's.

I was put in IT after promotion because a new spv was needed and among the current crop of sergeants I was able to differentiate between a keyboard and a trigger, between a screen and a gunsight, and knew a hard drive was a data storage device and not a tactical entry technique.

I just read up a bit about NMCI....sounds very cool and challenging.
I did 7 years in the USMC myself, and the IT back then was punch cards and
reel tape storage. I handled the MARES / FORSTAT system for my unit.
A good friend was with the FBI's computer forensic lab here in San Diego, and
was recruited by NIS recently. I have heard him mention NMCI in the past.
Interesting stuff...
