I recently got an HP cp2025dn color/duplex laser printer to
replace my HP 4M+.  The new one works fine with all my old
software using standard HP printer codes as well as good
PostScript(TM) support.  The printer only cost $350 which came
with 4 toner cartridges about 1/3 full.  After that a full set of
4 cartridges cost about $450 before the legal loot.

A Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government.  It can only
exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largesse out of
the public treasury.  From the moment on the majority always votes for the
candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the
result that Democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy, always
to be followed by a Dictatorship.
