How to Buy a Printer

In this exercise you will come up with a buyers guide to printers. You will use a typical printer add as the basis of your buyers guide. Your goal is to make the myriad of terms understandable to a non-technical consumer.

Find an add for a laser jet printer. Copy the URL and price for the printer to a word document. The shopping section of the computer repair links page may be helpful here.

Copy the specs and an image of the printer to the document.

Discuss each specification indicating what the spec means in terms that are understandable to an average non-technical person. You should have at least 5 different specs that you describe.

Write a conclusion indicating why you would or would not choose to purchase this printer.
