I recently became aware of that model and was considering buying it. After reading some reviews on newegg I wasn't convinced that my problems would be fixed as several people had printers that arrived non-functional. I'm currently considering just going with a laser printer but if I cannot find anything I feel confident buying I might see if I can pick up that HP model here in town so I can take it back if it doesn't work out of the box or if it dies early. I never even considered leasing a printer. I wasn't even aware that was something you could rent. I wonder how much something like that would cost.
