I did the math on the media usage on the 24"; it's been through over 2,600 rolls of 24x150 paper. These printers literally print all day long, sometimes over the weekends.
The best option to set (in my opinion) is to send the job as a bitmap in the driver. This takes all the work off the printer; no HPGL2 card needed, no extra RAM needed.. and the printer starts printing immediately instead of sitting there forever 'processing' the job.
