Bob, I've had a 4MV and a 5000 both, as part of my leased computer systems (I never buy computers or printers). When my leases reverted last October, I got the 5100dtn, which has the network card, duplexer, etc. IMO HP printers are built like tanks. I've never had a problem with any of them. The output is spectacular and it handles any kind of paper I throw at it. I can't comment on the Ricoh and I'm sure some others will chime in with their views there. For my money, HP is the ticket tho. HTH *************************** J.D.
