I'm not sure if this model is actually networkable :eek: in the standard ethernet way, at least. It only has USB 2.0 and a parrellel port as connection methods. The 2550N is networkable. All according to this PC World review:
http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/article/0,aid,119293,00.asp

There are some other user reviews here on Amazon:

NO, it isn't. We have it hooked up to a dedicated workstation, which is also accessible to the network, so no its not networkable in the traditional sense, but can be if really needed.

Useful thing about having a workstation is that person's screen flags up a warning when the paper runs out / ink gets low / it jams up. :cool: Not so cool for him I guess though, although its a rare occurrence it jams.

Dear Folks

Thank you once again. Tonight I printed off the Misco page and went to my local PC World for a price-match and walked away with a 2550L for £198 with five years guarantee, which I can cancel within 14 days and get £69.00. I think on balance I'll keep the guarantee.

ThanksX

Hooked mine up lastnight, and very impressed with it. It seems to have a mind of it's own at times, but I presume it's doing something useful.

Now on the hunt for the matching 250 sheet paper tray!

Thats great! How did you get your 5 year guarantee in with the price though?

Thats what I was wondering! Must have haggled for it?

The Manager (Gary) could not drop the price to the Misco value BUT could discount if it had the extra guarantee.

BTW, I did not haggle (well not too much). I just was polite and went to the business section and explained that I could get this at Misco's price and could they help.

FYI, I did phone the central enquiry number before hand and spoke to Raj whom advised they won't match Misco - BUT knowing they had two in stock, I thought it was worth driving to PC World just before they closed on a Friday evening!

I also mentioned that these units will soon be discontinued - I don't know if that helped, but I was happy.

Regards

It's worth giving Express Terminals a call re the paper tray as they are normally very good on pricing as we use them at work for various HP spares etc...

Good luck

Just emailed them, thanks for the link.

Cheapest I've found so far is DABS at £101.
