heh..something I actually know about (I fix network printers for a livin'..;), just the wrong price range. All I've seen are the K5400s and the ...(seriously, HP is getting a few too many models lately...;) I've had to ship a few of the K's back, as they were under warranty (HP warranties are normally 1 year. They also usually last more than one year before breaking...;)

You might consider the work load you want to place on it. Unless you're doing serious work with it, it's not that likely you'll use more than 100pps/day.

The HP's have an 'e-chip', that tells the printer that you're using 'genuine' (i.e., spendy) cartridges. They can honk at you if you don't use them. You can use refills or 3rd-party versions, but HP will consider that invalidating the warranty. But seriously, if you treat them with a little care, they really don't break that often.

HP does all the inkjet repairs in-house; they have a cross-ship program where you get a box with a reconditioned unit, and you put the bad boy in the box, and they'll provide a tag to ship it back (usually UPS).
They've got all sorts of dull stuff on the hp.com site, so if you want 'speeds and feeds' (specs),
you can get it from there.

One thing I do recommend (regardless of what vendor you go with), is to type the model number into Google, and see what postings there are on it. There'll be reviews, gripes, and typical problem postings, so you can see if the unit will do what you want.

hope that helps.
