Well, I guess you had no better luck than I did in this lame
group. I'll tell you what I decided to do...I bought
this one as a stopgap so I could have more time to think:

Added this to the order to bump it over $150 for free shipping:

Apply $30 off $150 coupon code "31022987" during checkout to trim it
to $118.76,
not including the cost of the Sharpie. Samsung's $50 mail-in rebate
yields a
net price of $68.76. With free shipping.

It won't do the quality stuff that I want, but I'm up & running.
It's a pretty
good printer for the money.
