Hi Dennis,
    Where are you getting  your toner refills from?
I've got an Optra E that I got for $5 form a surplus sales and have been looking for decent refills.

Thanks,

Kevin

  Hi,

  Why buy a new printer?  I bought a used Lexmark Optra E+ on eBay for 
  $40 (including shipping).  Toner cartridge refills are only $10 
  (including shipping).  I posted results from a recent board in my 
  photo album (dl5012).

  Regards,
  Dennis
