I like the $100 price. But if the replacement image drum/toner
cartridge also costs $100, why not just buy a new printer every time it
runs out?

I have seen these little print server devices that you can get that will
hook up to most printers that will make then JetDirect capable. That
way I don't have to have the capability in the printer, and with each
time I switch out my printers I still have the capability. They are
about 5 inches by 5 inches by 2 inches. Really tiny. Any idea where I
could pick up one of those? If not I just use my linux file sever as
the print server.
