The question, more accurately, I think, is how often _must_ we have a color
printout *at that very instant in time* at home... 

For me, given, over the years, mostly for the grandkids' school projects,
I've a few times brought a USB drive over to Kinkos/Federal Express to
print in color, if you have the _time_ to do that, then you don't need a
color printer at home (IMHO).

Plus, their printout is better, and on better paper, and longer lasting.

IMHO, given the universally expressed dislike for the color-printer hassle
and expense, the question is how often MUST you have a color printout NOW!

For me, it was "almost never" did I need a color printout at that instant.
