Well, this *is* academic, on the theory that such readers might be
interested.  HP does have a program to allow faculty and staff at
edu. institutions a one-time purchase of HP equipment at a discount.
The price I've seen for a DeskWriter is 558.81.

You need to fill out HP authorization form 5952-2522 and provide
some authentication.  Best to contact your local reseller for
more details.
