Speed and intelligence features must be balanced against the total cost of
owning and operating a networked printer over time.
price. Include everything needed for a workgroup printer to begin printing right away.
If extra-cost add-ons are needed, such as a network card or special cables, then these
costs must be added to the original purchase price.
Factor in the cost of operation.
The total cost-per-print can be every bit as
important as the purchase price. It is especially
important to consider all the consumables the
printer may require over its lifetime, and to
calculate the contribution each of these items
makes to the average cost per page.
Estimate the cost of keeping the printer
printing.
Start with durability: Does the duty cycle indi-
cate that the printer can handle a large volume
of printing? And don't forget the "hidden" costs,
especially how often the printer needs attention
from users and whether any special skills are
required to change consumables or trouble-
shoot problems.
