Does anyone have numbers on per-page operating costs for various printers.
In particular cartridge/toner lifetimes and costs?
Any there other things in a laser printer that need replacing from time to
time?

For example (gross estimates: better numbers welcome):

                 DeskJet       HP IIP      IBM 4019e

cartridge
cost                 $18          $80          $180
lifetime(pages)      250        3,500        15,000

(assuming ordinary paper will do:)
paper               $.01         $.01          $.01

per-page            $.082        $.033         $.022

Any number for the Cannon Bubblejets?
