I ended up looking up the average power consumption of the different printers and going that route - thanks for the help guys.

Does anyone know of a good way to calculate a monthly expense for printers for a mixed environment? We have 2 small offices with about 20 people who all have their own printers. I am trying to talk management into printing to a &quot;main&quot; printer, but it would help if i had numbers to back me up. We don't have a standard printer, we have just ordered the medium line laserjet when we hired new people. Any ideas?

Does anyone know of a good way to calculate a monthly expense for printers for a mixed environment? We have 2 small offices with about 20 people who all have their own printers. I am trying to talk management into printing to a "main" printer, but it would help if i had numbers to back me up. We don't have a standard printer, we have just ordered the medium line laserjet when we hired new people. Any ideas?

How would I calculate how much our office printers are costing us?

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
