Re: OT: suggest a printer
Well, as stated before, ink printer folks are not really in the printer business but the ink cartridge business. That's why they sell printers so inexpensively. And BTW, that's the ONLY reason Kodak ever started selling cameras; so they could sell more film.
Personally, I use inkjet only when I have to. I just bought an HP LaserJet 1012 and am very happy with it. IMO laser printers are cheaper than inkjet in the long run.
I paid about $140 for the one I got and have printed over 1000 pages so far with the included toner (which BTW is a "starter" cartridge). New toner costs $39 (about the same as most color ink cartridges) and I should be able to get close to 1500 on a new one.
Except for no color, a laser printer is far more cost effective IMO. And the 1012 works great; very fast first-page-to-print and rated at 15 ppm at 1200 dpi. Pretty solid IMO.
