The $1000 - $2000 for programming includes the cost of printing the ballots. 
It all comes on one invoice.  The $175 maintenance fee is worth it.  Never 
had to use it until this year.  I opened the Accuvote machine to test the 
ballots just before the election and noticed that the battery had leaked. 
First time in over 10 years that we'd had any problem.  I called LHS and 
they overnighted me a new machine and had mine fixed and returned prior to 
the day of the election.  So I had two machines in my office the day of the 
election!  Great service.  Hope this helps.
