I forgot to mention in my previous post.    Watch out for
PostScript support (or lack thereof) if PostScript is important
to you.    Too many of these colour laser printers (or the
monochrome printers for that matter) either don't support
PostScript at all, or, they lead you through a maze of sleazy
list of 'features' where you come out at the end not knowing
if they in fact do support PostScript.    PostScript support
is still important to me, so I watch that stuff carefully.
The HP 2550 i have seems to support PostScript Level Three
okay, so I am okay with it.

     Cheers,
