Selecting a Printer
Consulting users to determine their needs is the first step to take when selecting a printer. Ensure that the printer meets the needs of the users in terms of speed, amount of printing needed, consumables, and options. For a networked printer, make sure it has the correct network adapter installed. Look for the letter N in the name of the model number. It usually indicates a printer with a built-in network adapter. For a local printer, make certain that the printer drivers are compatible with the operating systems (OSes) being used.
