We are having a great deal of difficulty finding printer models that
work under DCPS. HP models that are on the SPD are either discontinued
or on indefinite back order. Other manufactures with comparable
models, such as Lexmark are readily available, but are not on the SPD
list. Also many Department heads are watching their budgets and are
therefore looking more and more towards MFPs.
HP is very willing to “loan” devices for testing, however I have not
had the same luck with other manufactures.
So what I am looking for is this: What makes and models of printers
(multifunctional and otherwise) are folks using successfully?  Even if
they are not on “The List” I would like to hear about them.  If there
are little tricks that are needed to make them work, I would like to
hear about that as will.

Any help and/or suggestions will be graciously accepted and greatly
appreciated.

Thanks, in advance


I don't personally like doing this, but in the absence of hard information 
from other sources you might want to consider ordering a printer or two from 
Staples under their 14-day return policy, or from Costco under their 90-day 
return policy and see what works without any hacking.
