Printers are connected to computers by being a node. Printers are not connected directly to any one computer. Home Ink Jet printers are the most expensive printers to operate, their cost-per-page can be up to $3.00 for a single page, and are prone to break and fail often because they lack robustness. Color Laser printers have a significantly lower cost-per-page (usually under 10-cents), and are designed for high yield production runs. Employees working on a deadline often waste time idling for a page to come out from a printer, an important issue to consider when printing proofs.

Time to implement: 1 day.
