Sub £300 is not cheap compared with sub £100 for a half-decent colour
inkjet with a USB cable which will be just fine at printing from Dad's
Dell PC.

Unfortunately, we always have to remember that good enough has a nasty
tendency to win over great - it's all very well and good saying that
lasers are better than inkjets, cheaper to run and so on, but when the
cheap crap at PC World doesn't work *at all* with Linux, or where you
have to buy a commercial printer driver separately...

Ah well, you know where this is going... :-/
