I disagree with this, and I hear it a lot. I have a HP 932C and yep,
the price per page is bad, especially with the photo-paper it needs to
print decent photos, but then I find myself printing about 5 photo
pages a month. Hardly worth the cost of a color laser-printer with
equivalent quality. In fact, I've had my inkjet about a year now and
have yet to replace an ink cartridge.
I think inkjets fill a valuable niche in the market for a lot of us
small, home-office folks who only need a printer occasionally, but
want decent quality and speed when we do need a printout, and don't
want to fork over a couple thousand $ for a decent color laser
printer.
That's my two cents worth,
Gary
