Re: [Digital BW] Re: Printing B&W with a laser printer

David,

Don't use coated inkjet paper!

Several days ago some coated inkjet paper accidently got mixed in with my 
letter-size laser-paper and made a mess: The inkjet paper jammed before it 
could move entirely out of the paper-tray. And though the print-quality of 
my (Minolta Magicolor 2200) laser printer hasn't been affected, the printer 
squeaks when it prints. A Minolta techie says that the OPC drum may be damaged.
