Pledge: Lets get a small, fast laser printer that actually works

The laser printer we have is knackered. It also somehow takes up 70% of
the electronics bench.

http://www.ebuyer.com/153068-lexmark-c543dn-colour-network-duplex-laser-printer-0026b0035

This printer is £110, colour, supported by linux/mac/windows, fairly
compact, networkable and has a duplex unit for double sided printing. It
also ships with full toners, which should last for an entire box of paper.

Lets buy it.

I’ll pledge £20 towards it.

flawlessly for years until someone trashed it.
