Me too, although mine was £120 for a LJ4000. The HP 4[k] series are
tanks, and I expect mine (and the toner cart it came with) to last
me at least until they introduce a sub £200 colour laser that's not
going to fall apart after a year or so. I've been disappointed with
HP's laser printer quality recently - they seem to be slipping down
to the level of the inkjet market, ie poor build quality and a
limited lifetime. Same direction as most of the consumer goods market,
I guess...
