Looking for a printer

Hi all,

I'm looking for a good inkjet printer around $100 that must support the parallel port interface (i.e. it can't be USB only). Any suggestions? TIA.

I was looking at the HP 3820 as a possible option. Does anyone have any thoughts and/or experiences with this particular model? TIA.

I havn't used that particular model, but you can't go wrong with HP in my opinion (when it comes to printers). You might also want to look at the HP DeskJet 5550.

The Laserjet 1000 is USB only.

I bought 4 of them in May of this year for work, and two of them are dead already. I would recommend the HP 5550 instead.
