Oh, I don't know.  They (the crayon colorstix) appear to be about the same
price as an inkjet cartridge (US$40).  I don't know how many pages you get
from each colorstix.  Plus you get free black colorstix.

This is nice.  We used to leave our HP LJ 4500 on all the time also, but it
still took a *long* time to warm up after coming back from powersave mode.
The Xerox printer warms up quite quickly compared to it.

Actually, I am quite impressed with the output quality and as soon as we can
get those pesky price sheets switched over to Postscript (instead of PCL),
we shouldn't have any complaints.
