This is not a direct response to your article, but I think $70 is a darn good deal for a laser cartridge. You get between 2500-3000 printed pages at excellent quality and little maintenance... and it's usually faster than dot matrix too... but just my opinion...-- ============================================================================== (.)

Just a note that while 3000 pages is the RATED number of pages a toner cartridge will last, in REAL use the number is usually quite higher. I usually get at least 4000 pages, and I just got 5000 pages on my last one. This does drive the cost per page down, maybe down into your bosses price range.
