The HP 5P is not a Colour Laser Printer. Absolutely NOT. I have one on
my desk right now.

You are joking aren't you about the cost per page?. The cost per page
on a Mono Laser is 2.5 to 30c a page. The cost on a colour laser
printer is MUCH higher then that, from $2 to $10 a page depending on
model and coverage. Plus you have to use SPECIAL paper on most models.

So most people are going to want to make a profit etc especially as
they're laid out $5000 to $25000 on a colour laser, plus the high
running costs etc. You'll be looking at least $5 a page.
