Oklahoma City Public Schools recommends all printer purchases be through our approved vendor Cesco. As part of our vendor agreement, these printers are purchased with a warranty so repairs are at no cost to the district.
If you are maintaining an older, Out of Warranty, printer and want to have a new fuser kit installed or any other repairs made, you may contact Fuzzell's.
Inkjet printers, although very inexpensive to purchase, have a very high cost per page for cartridges and supplies. It is not uncommon for inkjet cost per page analyses to work out to be $0.25 to more than a $1 per page. Current laserjet options through HP or Lexmark can cost less than $0.05 per page printed.
Other Points to Consider
An idle inkjet printer (not used for a week or more) often results in dried-up ink cartridges that must be replaced.
Laser printers are far more forgiving. They can sit idle for months at a time without negative effects.
Laser cartridges are recyclable; ink jet cartridges are generally considered a disposable item.
If printing more than 300 pages per month, you should consider a heavy-duty business-class printer.
Most inkjet printers are not easily nor affordably serviced; replacement is often more cost-effective.
In order to maintain a budget-friendly, greener atmosphere, IT Services does not support inkjet printing.
IT Services will not support printer purchases outside of the above parameters other than to assist with driver installation and only at our Help Counter. Users must provide all required cables, software and the computer it will be connected to. Unauthorized printers are not allowed OKCPS network access, wired or wireless.
IT Services does not support wireless network printing on any printers in the district at this time.
**DID YOU KNOW?**
As a Google Apps for Education district, we should all work to use the tools we have to share documents electronically as often as possible and only print when really necessary.
All products on our next page are Workgroup models meant to be used by groups of 10 and up to 30 users. Please keep this in mind when replacing or purchasing new printers.
