Think: total cost of owership. If the 4800 is out of your price range than a 
couple hundred 13x19 prints on the HP 8750 are out of your price range as 
well, since the cost of that printer, and enough ink to print that many B&W 
images, will exceed the cost of a 4800! HP B&W is very expensive. I believe it was 
Keith Krebs who was figuring it at about five bucks per 13x19 print, given that 
you only get a few images that size from a gray cart.
