Yes, Network B&W Laser - mainly so I can have a lot of things readily available which won't all fit on my monitor(s), especially multi-page diagrams generated with graphviz, and anything which needs annotation.
I like printing them so I can draw and write all over them.
I use b&w laser at a minimum.
When representing a lot of information on a diagram though, color is helpful to have. I've been looking to move to a color laser printer. What is important to look out for is that you find a printer that prints all four toner colors through one pass in the drum. Most of the cheaper laser printers send the sheet of paper through up to 5 times, once for each color plus black. This uses up the drum in your printer much faster.
For any printer you look at, be sure to calculate a cost per page including toner and the drum. If you can find a printer model a few years old for which third party toners exist, look at that carefully. I know that Brother and Okidata printers are great for business/spec type printing and have the lowest toner costs on the market. My next printer will be one of them.
Beyond that, try to find a printer that: - is network capable (wireless is a nice to have) - duplexer is a nice to have. I like to use the backs of the sheets to take notes on the printed sheet next to it. - has multi function capabilities. I live by my fax to email scanner. I email it into my case manager and title it appropriately and file away the paper. if I need it again, I can print off the PDF again.
I generally don't print out the requirements or other documentation unless I need to mark it up as I'm working. Say to check off that I've implemented all the requirements, etc.
I'm fine with a run-of-the-mill LaseerJet printer.
I often print out analysis documents to give them the once over after I think I've finished. I almost always notice something else after reading from a printed copy.
I've done quite a few large spec documents, and had occasion once to set up a workflow to support a team of 5 analysts collaborating on a very large spec document for an insurance underwriting system. A printer should have the following feature set:
Duplex printing - so you can bind a document of more than 50 pages or so into a booklet. This is a big win on larger documents.
A3 printing - so you can print out larger diagrams such as database models.
PostScript - PCL still has limitations that bite from time to time. Also, anything but Windows works much better with a Postscript printer.
Network connection if you want to connect more than one computer to it.
Colour is optional, a nice-to-have.
One thing to note is that you can get high spec laser printers off ebay for peanuts. I have a HP 9000DTN, which is a large 50ppm A3 printer with a duplexing unit. It's the type that has options for collators, staplers, paper feeders with a 2000 sheet capacity and a scanner to use it as a photocopier. It's a bit too big and clunky, but it cost me £400 off ebay. You might want go get something smaller (I didn't realise how big it was until it arrived), although something like this with the photocopier bits might be a win. I've also seen HP 4xxx printers with duplex units and low usage (12,000 sheets) go for about £100.
Requirements? sometimes -- but usually when we meet with other departments for discussions and then only the discussion points. Code? never the entire work; only snippets; but again, only for review and discussion (more often, just project it). Design documents? rarely.
Now what I DO like to do is project my diagrams and scribblings onto the whiteboard -- this allows me (team too) to use our dry erase markers to mark up what the projector shows -- If we like the results, I'll update my docs and repeat the process ...
I used to back in the dot matrix/fan fold paper days. With modern page printers it's too easy to get the pages all jumbled up. That and we have larger displays now that let you see more code at a time anyways. Throw in a tablet PC to make notes on and there's no paper left on my desk.

是的，Network B&W Laser - 主要是这样我可以拥有很多不适合我的显示器的东西，特别是使用 graphviz 生成的多页图表，以及任何需要注释的东西。

我喜欢打印它们，这样我就可以在它们上面画画和写字。
我至少使用黑白激光。
然而，当在图表上表示大量信息时，颜色会很有帮助。 我一直在考虑换用彩色激光打印机。 需要注意的重要一点是，您找到了一台可以通过感光鼓一次打印所有四种碳粉颜色的打印机。 大多数较便宜的激光打印机会将纸张发送最多 5 次，每种颜色加黑色一次。 这会更快地消耗打印机中的感光鼓。
对于您查看的任何打印机，请务必计算每页的成本，包括碳粉和感光鼓。 如果您能找到使用了几年的打印机型号并且存在第三方碳粉，请仔细查看。 我知道 Brother 和 Okidata 打印机非常适合商业/规格类型打印，并且具有市场上最低的碳粉成本。 我的下一台打印机将是其中之一。
除此之外，尝试找到一台具有以下功能的打印机：
- 具有网络功能（无线是最好的）
- 双工器是一个很好的选择。 我喜欢用纸张的背面在旁边的打印纸张上做笔记。
- 具有多功能能力。 我靠传真到电子邮件扫描仪生活。 我将其通过电子邮件发送给我的案件经理，并为其添加适当的标题，然后将文件归档。 如果我再次需要它，我可以再次打印 PDF。

我们经常打印这样的东西......通常通过带有“如果打印则过时”标记的 FinePrint（2 页到一页）到我们的标准办公打印机上。
We frequently print such stuff... usually via FinePrint (2-pages-to-a-page) with an 'Obsolete if printed' marker, onto our standard office printer.
一台 B&W Laser 对我来说就足够了，我打印出大部分需求文档、类图和 ER 图……
A B&W Laser is enough for me, I print out most of requirements documents, class diagrams and E-R Diagrams...
我通常不会打印出需求或其他文档，除非我需要在工作时对其进行标记。 比如说检查我是否已实现所有要求等。
我对普通的 LaseerJet 打印机很满意。

我经常打印出分析文档，在我认为已经完成后再看一遍。 在阅读印刷版后，我几乎总是会注意到其他东西。
I often print out analysis documents to give them the once over after I think I've finished. I almost always notice something else after reading from a printed copy.
要求？ 设计文档？ 那些是什么？
Requirements? Design documents? What are those?
我已经完成了相当多的大型规范文档，并且有一次设置了一个工作流程来支持由 5 名分析师组成的团队协作为保险承保系统编写非常大的规范文档。 打印机应具有以下功能集：
双面打印 - 这样您就可以绑定
超过50页左右的文件
成一本小册子。 这是一个巨大的胜利
更大的文档。
A3 打印 - 这样您就可以打印出来
更大的图表，例如数据库
模型。
PostScript - PCL 仍然有
时不时就会受到限制
时间。 另外，除了Windows之外的任何东西
使用 Postscript 效果更好
打印机。
网络连接（如果您想连接）
多于一台计算机。
颜色可选，必备。
需要注意的一件事是，您可以花很少的钱从 eBay 上购买高规格激光打印机。 我有一台 HP 9000DTN，这是一款带有双面打印单元的大型 50ppm A3 打印机。 该类型可选择配页机、订书机、容量为 2000 页的送纸器以及扫描仪，可将其用作复印机。 它有点太大而且笨重，但我在 eBay 上花了 400 英镑。 你可能想要买一些更小的东西（直到它到达我才意识到它有多大），尽管像这样带有复印机部件的东西可能是一个胜利。 我还见过具有双面打印单元和低用量（12,000 张）的 HP 4xxx 打印机，售价约为 100 英镑。

要求？ 有时——但通常是当我们与其他部门会面讨论时，然后只讨论讨论点。 代码？ 绝不是整个作品； 仅片段； 但同样，仅供回顾和讨论（更常见的是，只是进行预测）。 设计文档？ 很少。
现在我喜欢做的是将我的图表和涂鸦投影到白板上 - 这允许我（团队）使用我们的干擦记号笔来标记投影仪显示的内容 - 如果我们喜欢结果，我会更新我的文档并重复该过程...

我曾经回到过点阵/扇形折叠纸时代。 使用现代页面打印机很容易将页面弄乱。 而且我们现在拥有更大的显示屏，无论如何都可以让您一次看到更多代码。 加上一台平板电脑来记笔记，我的桌子上就没有纸了。
I used to back in the dot matrix/fan fold paper days. With modern page printers it's too easy to get the pages all jumbled up. That and we have larger displays now that let you see more code at a time anyways. Throw in a tablet PC to make notes on and there's no paper left on my desk.
有时。 我在工作中使用两个屏幕，所以大多数时候我可以查看规格和其他内容。
如果我要打印，那么每张 A4 纸打印两页，双面，以减少纸张浪费。
Sometimes. I use two screens at work, so most of the time I can look at a spec and something else as well.
If I do print, then its two pages per A4, double sided, to waste less paper.
