Oh but Robert, we are thrilled with our HP Laser Printer!  It has been
wonderful.  Our HP Color Printer is great but not online yet.  We are hoping
that will be done soon.  But I agree with you about the money.  Why buy 2
printers at the cost of these when we could have had one color printer to do
both jobs??
