Yeah, I think so, especially if you cant afford a laser, but want near
laser quality. Also, I've seen it around $289 in Computer Shopper, and
that's what we sell it at in the store where I work.

>3. How is the quality of the DeskJet output?

Not bad if you use an InkJet/Laser paper.  If you use regular copy paper,
you will get some bleeding of the ink into the fibers of the paper.

Not that I know of, but maybe somebody who actually owns one can reply
