An irony of this printer is a new drum is $180 MSRP but refurbished 5250's or 5240's are about $100. If ever my drum needs replacement I'll buy a refurbished printer. The 5240 is the same thing but without network, duplex, or postscript. So when buying for spare parts its just as good as a 5250. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@HiWAAY.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
