*Not* recommended for home use. Serious power suckage. I had one (freebie from a friend) for a few days before foisting it off on someone else (who still doesn't have a cart for it last I heard). It would dim lights down the whole block when it cycled.... Well, at least my own apartment. The HPLJ4 is a bit heavy duty, but works admirably. I just turn it off except when printing. My next printer will be a laser with some form of power management (like auto on/off and very low standbye draw). Anecdote. Did some travelling this summer. Stopped by Amory Lovin's Rocky Mountain Institute, a research center on energy efficiency. The institute itself is both a house and a showpiece of highly efficient design. The power usage goes up about 100% when their photocopier is in use. Inkjets are much more efficient, though generally have far lower performance than LJs. Peace. -- Karsten M.
