Say what?  I own a HP IIP (purchased for $950).  It looks like a laser
printer, it smells like a laser printer, it sounds like a laser
printer, and the black stuff it puts on paper looks like the output
from a laser printer.  I'm gonna take a wild guess and say IT IS A
LASER PRINTER!

I'd suggest you change "cheap" to "inexpensive".  AND, it's not geared
towards the "same" marketplace, that's why the "P" in IIP stands for
PERSONAL! Geez.
