My parents have an HP LaserJet (something, might be III) and it's still
got 3/5 of its ink left (in the original cartridge), and I *KNOW* it's
printed well over 5k of pages! I, personally, have printed more
worthless stuff than I can count while I was living there (including
such things as banners where one letter took up one page - solid black
{wince}), but have also printed several dozen resumees, a 400+ page
story a friend of mine thought she was going to turn into a novel, etc..
ad infinitum - and that was just me out of a household of 4 people.

I swear, if they ever switch to a colour printer, I'll pay any price for
that laser of theirs.
