The only one I've used fails on the "price" critera by about $10,000. It's a *fantastic* device though - it'll even scan a batch of documents and save them in a network file share for you. Like you, I've only seen inkjet multifunctionals on the lower end. I was utterly floored by how well one of them worked recently (a friend has one), though, and how quick and high quality it was. I'm a hardened inkjet hater - and if it can't tell me *in* *words* what's wrong with it on a status display, I don't buy it - but I was still pretty impressed. -- Craig Ringer
