<p>do most people purchase a printer with their laptops? just want to make sure.</p>
<p>Do you want to be most people?</p>
<p>How many pages of free printing are we alloted each semester? That would factor into my decision to buy a laser printer or not. And how many pages do we generally need to print each semester?</p>
<p>You get no free printing. Well, in some places you get 20 page ever 30 minutes or somesuch, but in general you have to pay. And how many you have to print varies vastly...I didn't have any problems though. Printers are a hassle.</p>
<p>So, in which building/hall do we get this 20 pg / 30 mins thingie?</p>
<p>It's the Weiss Tech House in Levine hall...quite a ways from the core of campus. You'll end up paying a little for printing, but not enough to justify the hassle of a printer, IMHO.</p>
<p>you can get 30 sheets front and back (60 pages total) printed free of cost per day at the weiss tech house, which is in levine hall, 2nd floor.</p>
<p>all other engineering computer labs (towne or moore) have a limit of 5 pages per 30 minutes.</p>
<p>if you're a member of certain student organizations / groups, like paach (pan asian american community house), or an ita (free printing when you're on duty?), or even an m+t student (m+t office), then you have other options (or ask friends who are in those groups).</p>
<p>ITa's don't get free printing</p>
<p>Well you can get free printing, but it isn't allowed.</p>
<p>Most people I know have their own printer.</p>
<p>I had my own printer but finding storage for it over the summer kinda sucked for me. But, it's convenient to have your own printer (i.e. printing out a final draft of an english paper right before rushing off to class).</p>
<p>However people can whore you out pretty deeply if you're not careful. Consider the following:</p>
<p>Ditzy Girl: Oh baby baby may I use your printer?
Me: What for, O estrogen-laden peon?
Ditzy Girl: I just gotta print a page or two of directions mmk?!
Me: Alright just don't screw anything up
<em>she proceeds to print like 20 pages of colored maps, routes, etc, using up all my ink and paper while I'm off doing whatever</em></p>
<p>Yeah don't be a sucker.</p>
<p><em>puts on wig</em>
oh baby baby may I use your printer?</p>
<p>Try and find one of the older HP LaserJets. They print amazingly fast in black and white. Theyre bulky but oh so worth it.</p>
<p>How about Samsung ML-2010? Compact, cheap and does the job.</p>
<p>Images of your mother float through my head with that one.</p>
<p>aHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH</p>
<p>perfect.</p>
<p>Legend you're such a cad!</p>
