Julie,

We have the HP 1055CM printer and we decided to charge a nominal fee for
printing a map from this printer. If we do not charge a fee people are most
likely to misuse the printer because it doesn't cost anything for them to
print. The fees are based on research that I did in the Fall 1999. I looked
at a cost of the HP's ink and paper and then came up with the figures.  The
printing fees are very nominal and the fee will only recover the cost of
paper and ink. If you are trying to recover printer's cost then you should
devise a different fee structure.

The URL link will give you an information about the printing fees:

Thanks.
