Talk:Computer printer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Computer printer article.
Article policies
Most computer printers are sold on the "razor and razor blades" business model, where the printers are sold at artificially low prices in order to lock the user in to consuming a stream of ink cartridges sold at inflated prices.

Two problems with this: it's not NPOV, and it is rather particular to ink jet printers, rather than printers in general. I'm moving a toned down version over to the ink jet article. -- Ryguasu

[edit] Forensic identification

This information is also showing up on Laser printer under Secret Dots. Instead of two independent article sections, this information should either be split into a separate Printer Forensics artice or merged into the Computer forensics article. Any other thoughts? --Gadget850 12:46, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Agreed, though "page printer" has little useful content. I'd AfD page printer, and have it redirect here.--EngineerScotty 01:13, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
Better idea.--Wikiwriter706 01:46, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Messy uncited page

I've done a little bit of clean-up work on this page to fix some of the text (most of which is pretty good as is) and to try and make the headings a little more clear. This page is unnecessarily messy and has too many headings. It really needs to be worked over a bit to organize it better. It also has issues with being completely uncited.--Lendorien 15:17, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion needed

It would be better to include circuit diagrams of computer printers& mother boards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.55.95.4 (talk) 09:53, 9 January 2008 (UTC)


Please expand as soon as you can! Bigtop 23:15, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Prior to this edit, the article was much bigger, an anon snipped a whole bunch of stuff. The stuff was rather poorly referenced and unorganized, but much of it was largely correct. A good place to start... --EngineerScotty 23:19, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

And are waiting for...? I have revert this. If another user have best redaction / info / references, please, upgrade this. Do not "waiting..." And not more Jack the Ripper tolerance. --Museo8bits 17:09, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dangerous Particles

I was logging on at uni, and the potential dangers of printers has been discussed on QUT website. This was an unexpected find, but they're doing more research into it. I have edited toner printers breifly to show this. 131.181.65.137 23:08, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Transfer from article to talk page

I have removed the following from the main article and put it here because it doesnt belong in the main article, but might be worth researching/reformatting to include later StealthFox 01:09, 6 September 2007 (UTC):

[edit] Mobile Minature Printers

Perhaps a product in the near future would be a mobile minature printer for photo and document printing. Would add convenience while increasing value to the end user.

Miniature integrated printed with handheld devices facilitate workers on the move to be more productive print information on the fly.

Lets C if minatuarization has gone that far! Something to see in the near term

[edit] colors in printers

how the printers will identify which color has to be printed —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.167.144.172 (talk) 04:35, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] An idea

How about a mentioning of how printers don't work 95% of the time and just give shitty looking blue, pink, and yellow? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.23.212.206 (talk) 21:09, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
