[OPLINTECH] GCPL: Color printer recommendation

[Chad Neeper]

Since Bob mentions it, I have two other clients that I know off-hand 
have Ricoh Aficio model color copiers. Both libraries have a contact 
with the same company for pay-per-print, similar to what Bob described. 
I've extensively configured/played with/used  two different Aficio 
models at one of the libraries and they do seem to be workhorses with a 
low failure rate.

FWIW.
