This may not be what you want to hear, but the HP5100DN is a tank. I had a 5000 and traded it in for a 5100. They are essentially the same printer with a few external and firmware mods. I lease my systems, both the Mac, monitors, and printer. If you're writing off your system, it's a great way to save money, and get a legitimately huge deduction. My last leases involved everything, 24 months, no interest, thru HP Financial. Might be worth looking into. *************************** J.D.
