That's correct. Plus the Labor cost to install...I had an estimate of 
about $245 from the local "authorized dealer" in my area for the 
whole job....Though I hated to do it, I trashed the printer and went 
for a 1280 instead with the rebate...I was afraid something else 
would have bombed later on...it was a great printer until the tines 
broke off.   The dealer claimed they broke while they were trying to 
repair them...go figure!

Good luck,
