New Ricoh Gelsprinter duplexing network printers for £49.99

These seem to be a second generation version with bigger cartridges and very positive reviews - still a bit expensive to run compared to colour laser, at least twice the price per page for colour, but the speed etc. looks very good. If I could convince myself I need colour just a little more I'd be all over them.

Are you aware of the HP 5515? Same specs as the 5510, but with added duplex. Exclusive to Currys/Dixons/PC World, I think. It uses the 364 cartridge set, which gives very reasonable economy (it seems to be HP's - quite effective - response to Kodak's assault on ink economy in the domestic printer space).

Not familiar with it - looks pretty good, though a bit more expensive. I'm really not planning to buy anything right now anyway.
