I have an HP 1320, but beware if you buy an HP and have another brand printer - you will need to uninstall all printers. Then install the HP first and then install the others. I had this problem when I purchased mine and it took me about 3 months to straighten out. I even set up a paid for case with Microscoft and finally found someone there that had worked with Canon before and knew right off what the problem was. But if you do as mentioned above, you will be fine.

| Check your local Craig's List - so many businesses shutting down, lots of work-horse HP's out there. |

Most folks recommend several Brother dual tray laser printers as inexpensive alternatives. However, I like my Lexmark 642DTN. The per page copy expense is good, you don't have to mess with it often and overall quality is good for high volume printing. |

Not to mention the price of paper. In the long run, being able to print letter on letter and only the required legal on legal saves money since legal paper is more expensive. quote:

Invest the extra money and purchase a dual-tray printer. Invest the time to set it up properly. You'll be glad that you did. You will save time which will free you to do other things while docs are printing (marketing, invoicing or following up on accounts receivables, accepting another appointment, or posting on this site).

| Yes, I print all copies for the borrowers per the instructions from the lender. Sometimes if the original set has numermous copies of the RTC I give those copies to the borrower instead of printing more. |

Thank you all for your responses!
I printed a mixed page size doc yesterday, and although I told the printer to print by the pdf page size, it did not.
So I'm trying to figure out why...

I do not print legal on letter for either copy (cannot say never as had to print a changed HUD once on letter because it was changed during a closing and the borrower only had letter sized paper to print it on - with an inkjet).
Do you print the borrowers copy of the RTC copies as well? |

| I have a signal tray laser printer that prints legal or letter but not both at the same time. I find it easy to choose the pdf size necessary and print accordingly. Printing on all legal paper is much more expensive and I find the few extra minutes it takes saves me money in the long run. Procedures just in case you need them - Once the pdf file is open, click on pages tab on the left hand side, from there you can tell which ones are legal and which ones are letter, click print, put in your range of pages, select "none" for page scaling and click choose paper source by pfd page size. I generally print the borrower copy in letter size and reduce to fit the page if necessary. |

| Dual tray with option set to print as called for - letter on letter and legal on legal. The Lexmark used also has a duplexer, but I do not use that feature for lender or borrower copies as the two of the title companies said they would appreciate it if printing on one side only, something about it was easier for them to copy. |

You will find a dual tray is the best way to go to avoid frustration. When I purchased my latest printer, I made sure I have duplex printing. Some of my clients have shared that it is really nice when they prefer duplex printed doucments to receive them back printed on both sides. Doesn't happen often, but once in a while. I purchased mine on line from Hewlett Packard and it is a work horse.
Good Luck!

I do have a dual tray printer. I generally print it all legal, just because it's easier when I'm going through the docs.

| I have a dual tray so docs print as they have been formatted. If you don't have a dual tray generally legal is best so you don't cut off any of the text or margins. Some specify letter so make sure you read the instructions sent along with the package. Good luck! |

I have a dual tray printer so I can print on both sizes without pulling paper trays out and changing the paper. It's generally been recommended that if you have only one paper tray in your printer that you print everything on legal size.

Seeking opinions please.
