If you go into the store, they're marked at over A$220 however under their "well match our competitors price" policy, simply taking in a print of the price on their own website means they will sell it at $149. This printer is the non-network version of the HL2060N and both emulate the HP Laserjet. The latest Laserjet printer driver from the IBM website lists the HL2060 as a selectable option and this indeed works with the USB or parrallel port attached HL 2040. I do have a font problem with some text coming out however I'm pretty sure this is fixable by changing the printer object settings. For example I get e-mail headers, but (on the one I tested with) I didn't get the body text. The key point being, this is NOT a win-printer. Cheers/2 Ed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
