personal desktop printer

German translation: PC-Drucker

Tech/Engineering - Computers: Hardware
English term or phrase: personal desktop printer
Der Ausdruck kommt in einer Marktforschungsumfrage vor (z.B. "How many personal desktop printers does your household currently own?").

Wie übersetzt man "personal" hier am besten? Eine wörtliche Übersetzung kommt wohl nicht in Frage, und eine Lösung mit "Arbeitsplatz" passt wahrscheinlich auch nicht, da es hier um Privathaushalte geht.

Explanation:
einige stehen bei mir rum, alle 'strictly personal' aber das würde ich nie übersetzen - es geht ja offenbar um den Unterschied zu PC-Druckern vs Industriedrucker oder Profi-Drucker (für Werbeagenturen)
