I rather assumed that, one of the reasons I've not considered one, the other being that when it comes time to replace the toner carts, bring a little red wagon load of change from the coin op laundromat you'll have to own in order to finance the replacement carts. OTOH, a full set of tanks for my C82 is in the range of 100 USD, so maybe it would even out. I would have to admit that the color output of a color HP office sized laser is pretty good, if you don't mind orangeish reds. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
