Was that a CRT or LCD display on that machine? I think I need a
kill-a-watt. I've been shutting down secondary machines (wife's and
kid's) lately but mine still runs 24/7. It would also be interesting to
see the effect of AMD's cool and quite feature. Something to checkout
at the next meeting maybe.<br>

<pre wrap="">Yeah, I bought a kill-a-watt from thinkgeek and was measuring the draw of everything in
my house. My LaserJet takes 800 watts when charging up to print. I also found out that
leaving a computer on all the time draws around 120 watts and costs ~$6.50/month.

spare jet direct card for one if anyone has need.

Also, post here the second you find out if your printer truly supports postscript.
I've
been looking for a laser printer for my dad's machine and this model might fit the
bill.

<pre wrap="">No problem. Hardware shopping with a long list of requirements can be
difficult, especially when low cost is one of them. I spent about 2
days deciding on a printer model to replace my aging (built in 1985!) HP
Laserjet IIISi and somewhat less aged and less capable HP Laserjet 6MP.
I've had the HL-2070N in my possession now for a few days. I've only
tested network printing using LPD queues over TCP/IP with the hl1250
driver at the highest supported resolution (1200x600 DPI). The
combination works excellently, with essentially no setup (assigning an
IP to the printer, selecting the appropriate queue). The printer claims
Postscript as well as PCL6 support as well, although I have yet to test it.
I've got a small pages up at:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://narrow-band.net/index.php/Brother_HL-2070N_Laser_Printer">http://narrow-band.net/index.php/Brother_HL-2070N_Laser_Printer</a> to keep
notes on the printer. It's linked to from the linuxprinting.org entry
as well.
So far, I'm really happy with it. It's fast (although it doesn't seem
quite as fast as my IIISi - but it's really close). The real-world
controls (4 LEDs and a single button) leave something to be desired, and
the web interface isn't the most intuitively constructed. That said, it
has every feature I've ever needed in a laser printer and a whole lot
more (it can email error messages, groks mDNS, apparently has some
SNMP-ability, and a ton of tunable knobs like sleep time, etc). It's a
great deal for the money.
Let me know if you have any questions.
