Sorry I really don't understand why an 87 year old user needs a scanner/copier/printer that uses very very expensive Ink Jet Technology. Depending on use, you could pay for a HP laser and scanner separate units in about 1 year.
The new PSC devices are good, but running them could easily cost more than purchasing them. Its the Gillette Razor blade theory all over again where the consumables cost more than the initial units price. IF the user absolutely needs to print in colour you don't have any choice, however if the user needs only black and white a small relatively cheap HP Laser may work out 50 times cheaper in the long run.
