G'day mates,

I'm looking for a reasonable laser copier/printer, with emphasis on 
the copier side of things at the moment.  In fact, I could be 
persuaded to go for a simple stand-alone copier for the time being at 
least.  Be that as it may, and returning to the combo function...

The Fuji-Xerox PE220 looks like it might be the bee's knees from the 
price here in Oz at the moment and the specs (such as I've been able 
to find details on them, which isn't comprehensive).

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a reliable review of the 
beast.  Most of the "reviews" turned up by Google are nothing more 
than a regurgitation of FX's PR blurb on the machine.  The only 
independent comment I found was from a Mac user who was peeved that 
the thing didn't really live up to its promise to work with Macs.  
(IIRC is was the scanner side of the unit that caused him angst.)
But problems from the POV of Mac owners are not relevant to me as I'm 
a happy PC owner. :-)

So, question is, would anyone out there with practical experience 
using the PE220 be prepared to share their comments on its performance 
with the rest of us, please?  I'm especially interested in output 
quality, reliability (i.e. paper jams and similar misfortunes) and 
cost of operation.  (My email addy works [given obvious editing] 
should you prefer to reply personally rather than broadcast your views 
to the world at large.)

Thanks for reading and TIA for any advice offered.

Cheers, Phred.
