We recently had a staff member have the small color laser printer in their office fail. We have had some discussions within I.T and with the users manager and are leaning towards replacing the color printer with a shared network color laser printer that the department can share. We have a couple reservations with this though:
1. If the printed document is sensitive anyone could grab it, this means we would need something like a way for each person to have a PIN# to allow it to print their job only when they are there. It appears this just needs a printer with some storage, print server may not even be required.
2. The abuse/ misuse of color toners by users that either don't know what they are doing, use up color toner to print documents that don't need color.
We have been a mainly HP shop, but some of our larger copy/printers are Savin/...
