The Gang tackles printers end to end — choosing between inkjet and laser, OEM vs. third-party ink and toner, getting a new printer talking to a Mac, PC, and phone, and the most common problems (and fixes) that come up along the way. The panel also shares the actual printers sitting on their own desks and the real-world costs and headaches they've run into.
