Also be aware that OfficeWorks is Coles-Myer Group as well.

Hi John,
Thanks for that additional information - there is an OfficeWorks located 
about 45KM away in southport, Qld. :-)
Not that I get to travel that far these days with the price of petrol. :-(

Mike

I went back to the Coles where I bought my wireless keyboard / mouse - all gone ! Well at AUS$19.95 I'm not surprised ! They've now got Lexmark P707 printers (photo quality, separate ink cartridges, built in camera memory card reader) at AUS$69,--   shame there's no OS/2
driver for this model !

It's getting crazy when it's cheaper to buy a new printer (with ink cartridges) that to buy replacement cartridges !!  This can't be good for the environment !

Cheers/2

Ed.
