Bill,
I would direct you to my posted review on this item, but generally speaking it's a good machine that accepts print commands from any device in your office/home, including your iPAd and cell. Consumables and where you source them from is what will drive your cost basis per page, whether back-n-white or color. I am NOT a fan of HP branded toner and think they're misguided in their choice of business model, but you will void the warranty if you put third party cartridges in the machine, so realize this an plan accordingly.
