Big big ditto!

They're a well kept secret for regular B&W printing. I kick myself 
every time I use mine for just figuring that out and having put myself 
through the years of trauma constantly refilling my inkjets, tracking 
down carts and trying to conserve ink. The prints are better and more 
durable too.

The common HP LaserJet (used, but new looking) was only 25 bucks here, 
and it replaced a nice Sharp FO-2850 that some people actually gave me 
(I broke that with a cleaning sheet). The LJ's are around that range 
on eBay (sometimes less), but you'd have some shipping too.

I just figured out the laser thing in the past year (kick,kick)
