I rather assumed that, one of the reasons I've not considered one, the other 
being that when it comes time to replace the toner carts, bring a little red 
wagon load of change from the coin op laundromat you'll have to own in order 
to finance the replacement carts.

OTOH, a full set of tanks for my C82 is in the range of 100 USD, so maybe it 
would even out.  I would have to admit that the color output of a color HP 
office sized laser is pretty good, if you don't mind orangeish reds.
