No warm up time for ink jets?  My Canon i560 inkjet does a little dance
that lasts for over a minute when it first turns on.  My Lexmark laser
takes maybe 5 seconds from power on switch to when it starts printing. 
:-)  Guess we should be careful with generalizations!  (And there's no
comparison for print speed.  Now I'm making generalizations!)

        73, Duane
