thats casue the junkers they sell your grandparents with their new Gateways are complete garbage and last a ream of paper if that.

you want quality laser & color and you will spend $450+ for home/small business or $2000+ for a production machine that will print 1,000,000 pages in its life time as opposed to 10,000.

EDIT: look at the duty cycles for a home printer VS a production/large office printer. Home is like 10Kpages/month vs 200K/m for a full blown office/bussiness jobber.
