Subject: Re: Buying a laser printer HP P1005 or P1006 ?

I bought a Brother HL-2170W about a month ago. I have not had a successful toner transfer with it yet. Have had my laminator up to 350 ∗F and got few traces actually transferred. I had a Minolta PagePro 1250W that worked great even with refilled cartridges. When I switched to Vista, there where no drivers for it. I ran it on my old XP computer for awhile, but it has started smearing the print.

One thing I like about the software that comes with the Brother is the ability to do mirror print.

Does anyone know if the HP P1006 can do mirror print.

I do a lot of my boards with the free PCBExpress CAD and need to have mirror print to get the top layer printed. Also what temperatures are folks using with the HP P1006 to get transfers?
