Can I install a laser printer Myself?
If you have a single stand-alone workstation computer and want to
replace the printer you have with a laser printer, you just need to be able to lift the
printer out of the box and hook up the standard parallel connection. The directions for
installing a printer drivers are quite simple. If you don't have a mission critical
application to get/keep up and running, and an hour or so... just about anyone can handle
the job.
If you are needing to keep your equipment up and running, can't risk being down while you figure out the drivers, need accessories attached or a network configured, a professional installer can save you time and money. In our service area in Southern California, we install about 90% of the printer we sell.. sometimes after our clients have tried to do it themselves. <grin>
What's the long piece of plastic with white felt?
Most printers manufactured in the last few years come with an
all-in-one toner cartridge. The photo sensitive drum and developer are inside. But older
printers are still out there, mostly the indestructible HP LaserJet, LaserJet Plus,
LaserJet Series II and Series III. These all used the all-in-one toner cartridge, but also
required a fuser cleaning wand. If you have a 'hand me down' printer... make sure you know
if/where this wand is... it presses against the heated fuser roller and keep the toner and
paper dust from destroy the fuser
Can I share my printer with others in my office?

What do I do with an empty toner cartridge?
It's easy to see that most toner cartridges are a good sized chunk of natural resources that should not be tossed into a landfill. That plastic shell will not be decomposing and the whole thing will be talking up space for generations.
Printer manufacturers will take back your cartridge. They'll see that the plastic is ground up to be used as raw material for other goods. However, a super recycling alternative is to turn in the cartridge for remanufacturing. All of the parts that wear can be replaced, making a cartridge that is good as new, for less cost, using local labor instead of overseas machinery.
You can buy remanufactured and "close the loop" or buy new and still help the environment by making sure all your empties are returned to a cartridge remanufacturer. To have your cartridge pickup up by Landmark... use our online form.
