$1750???? What does that translate to as £ sterling? We pay £350 for the
1300N

The customer in question has a few locations where they have low volume
printing, but need it to not rely on a PC being turned on for it to print,
so we're looking for something cheap. The lowest end networked Laserjet here
is the 1300N, but it's $1750, which would be cost prohibitive for this
customer. The Laserjet 1010 won't work because it's a GDI printer, but the
1015 appears to support PCL5e for not much more money.
