Hi Steve and Voytek.

That's a pretty good wrap-up of the pluses.

Now can you tell us about the printer operating costs (ie TCO factors
please)

RRP and street purchase price
Cost of cartridges (genuine? generic? refillable?)
Any special paper requirements
Target monthly duty cycle (pages per month)
Time to first page print
Average pages per minute speed: text and graphics
Other features eg envelope handling?
