ended up deciding that the price on the color laser printer couldn't be beat, so I just put in my order.


Just don't fall into the trap that so many people do when selecting a printer. The up-front cost of the printer is almost irrelevant. The number that counts is your cost per page.

Where I work, we use Kyocera for our main printer, and its cost per page is so low that it saves us as much as we paid for the printer every year in consumables expense when compared to a Hewlett Packard printer of comparable performance.

However, we do print more than the occasional 20-page technical report -- probably on the order of three or four hundred pages a day. If your print volume is low enough, then cost per page becomes less important.
