[dba-Tech] Looking for a printer/multifunction printer

Thanks Bryan, I'll take a look at that one.  We have another color laser in another office and it seems like it was jamming on us with the cover pages.  I'll take at look at the 4700 dtn.

We've got an HP 4700 dtn that will print on 90 lb card stock with no problems.

I've used the regular printing path with no problems what so ever. I
know others that have had problems, but I personally haven't and I've
done runs of up to 20 pieces of card stock at once.

The biggest trick I've found with printing on card stock is don't tell
the printer that it's card stock. Tell the printer its regular paper.
Seems to work better.
