I looked at a refurbished Ricoh 600 with all the functions the new 5100dtn has and it was almost two thousand dollars more.
WHAT???????????
That *can't* be right. Either it wasn't a Ricoh AP600N, or someone was trying to scam you.
The Ricoh AP600N starts at $978.

The duplexer for the Ricoh is $200, which brings the total price for a duplexing, networkable AP600 to $1178.

The HP LaserJet 5100DTN starts at $2259.

There is just no way that a *refurbished* Ricoh AP600N could have cost *more* (let alone $2000 more!) than a brand-new HP 5100DTN unless someone was seriously scamming you.

NB -- you can get an HP 5100 (*without* the network card and duplexer) for $1342.

And you can get the duplexer for $320:

This brings the total price for a duplexing HP5100 to $1662 -- obviously *much* better than the $2259 for a 5100DTN (with the duplexer and network card built-in). True, for that price you don't get the network card, but Mac OS X 10.3's USB printer sharing is so good, you probably don't need a network card.
