Yes, laser, 2pgs free & $.15/ea after that.  We have 3 networked color 
lasers.  We used to have dozens of individual inkjets, which was a support 
nightmare.  This is working out pretty well now.  I did some math prior to 
the purchase and the cost of ink is way cheaper with the lasers (part of my 
justification for them).  I don't remember the exact numbers, but based on 
the manufacturer's "page per cartridge guestimate" and what we actually pay 
for ink, it was something like $.08/pg for laser and $.16/pg for inkjet.  
Those $45 color HP carts are only rated for 350pgs IIRC. 

I just wanted to get rid of all the individual printers.  My first 
suggestion was to have B&W lasers and do away with color all together.  That 
didn't go over very well... to say the least.  YMMV.

This could mean a lot of things! :)

None of the above... unless you include Imaging, Paint... or whatever they 
include with the OS these days (assuming you meant digital image editing).
