It's a 4-colour laser printer too.
So you need to replace  4 cartridges from time to time

Cost was £175.
Humm - so was our Lexmark Postscript device - needed to work with she's Imac. I should have checked first but each of the cartridges is £150 to replace and the printer came with just those stupid 'get you going' cartridges that last about a week. The true cost of the first year of use - nearly £600 ! Ok so the new cartridges will last a long time - but do check the costs first.

You have been (gently :-) ) warned.

Ah. Right. Not yet checked the cost of supplies... Not my problem for the one in that office, however...

The HP carts suggest up to 8000 pages of average use...

I wonder if it's cheaper the buy a new printer...

Once upon a time there was a site called FreeColourPrinter.co.uk or something like it... (Hm. still exists, but in a slightly different form)
