Hey there,

I helped a friend set up her new HP 5100 11x17 mono laser printer last weekend. Unfortunately, she neglected to realise it didn't come with ethernet as standard. I temporarily attached a serial to usb cable, and it works fine, but she want to upgrade that. She's a book designer and churns out several hundred pages per week- so having a peppy printer is important.

HP recommended either of these:
615 N J6057A
620 N J7934A

Can anyone tell me which would be preferable, or if there are other cheaper alternatives out there?

Cheers!
