No, mine is all in one. I am betting that it will outlast the cost of a service contract and extended warranty period. If it does then it is a throw away item when it goes wrong. It will be more expensive to repair than to replace.Originally posted by Mustang View PostMy one is a multi-function as I wanted fax and copy facilities (scanning is useful too). Are you saying get seperate bits of kit for each of these instead?

What DP said. I bought a £19.99 HP printer last week and the print quality is as good as the £299.99 Epson it's replacing. It probably won't last as long but at £19.99 who cares?

A cheap £40 laser printer (recommend Brother) and when it plays up, chuck away and repeat.
