I have been quoted �250 for a toner cartridge for a HP1100 by one
supplier, and they refused to accept that it was overpriced.  It
wasn't even an original HP cartridge!  Add to that the fact that you
can almost buy 2 HP1100 *printers* for �250 (each with toner).

I'm now getting toner at �30 a pop from somewhere else.
