FWIW, I buy refilled HP laser cartridges for both the LJ-5 monochome and 2550L color at Cartridge World and they've all worked great for me. My inkjet experience (with an large format HP deskjet) was not happy because I used it infrequently and the print heads would clog. Heads and color cartridges were separate and cost $75 each; that's an expensive replacement cost. Ed's correct that many of us print infrequently. I'll stick with my old HP laser printers as long as I can. Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
