It certainly costs more, because duplex is a "business" feature and pricing is set accordingly. You need to find a manufacturer which doesn't have that mindset. eg: Samsung ML-1640 monochrome laser, USB $101.56 Samsung ML-2851ND monochrome laser, duplex, ethernet $288.56 I've got a old monochrome Samsung and it has worked well for over five years. Consumables are about $110. The printer shipped with half-full consumables and no USB cable, which was pretty obnoxious. So although it works well, I expect you can do better. -- Glen Turner www.gdt.id.au/~gdt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
