I have been looking for a cheap printer to replace the gummed up inkjet
my wife used to use before we bought her a laptop. I now get irregular
e-mails requesting that such and such letter/recipe/birth/marriage/death
etc. attachment should be printed on the office m/c.

I don't leave my PC switched on so networking won't work and she works
at the other end of the house so picking up copy is inconvenient.

I confidently expected dot matrix printers to be dirt cheap by now and
half promised one as a birthday pressie. 150ukp they must be joking!

For 70ukp I can get an entry level laser inc. usb cable. Is there
something I should know?

Bought a cheapo Samsung laser from CPC because I was fed up with the ink
costs of my Canon. Every time I needed it meant intensive cleaning - and
most of my stuff doesn't *have* to have colour.
It's done over 500 pages on the original fill and I've got some toner
waiting to use which cost under 20 quid off Ebay - and should do twice as
much.
