[PLUG] Printer Recommendations

[Anthony Schlemmer]

FWIW,

I've had my HP 4P for nearly 8 years now and have not had any problems 
with it except having to buy a toner cartridge now and then. My wife 
loves to print gobs of stuff and I think I would be spending a lot more 
money if she was using our Lexmark Optra Color 40 inkjet printer all of 
the time as the cartridges aren't cheap. I know I have already spent 
several times the $99.00 the printer cost me at buy.com in inkjet 
cartriges and that figure will continue to rise.

I save a few bucks by buying a two pack of Lexmark cartridges at Costco 
for around $52.00. The cost of one laser toner cartridge is about 
$70.00 and my wife goes through reams of paper before the toner 
cartridge is empty. I'm not sure I can even print 500 pages before an 
inkjet cartridge needs replacing in our inkjet printer.
