Too bad it's not a 4M+, that would make it even sweeter.

I have a 4+ (4M+ minus the PS SIMM), got it with a 100 meg jetdirect + 22 MB RAM + a toner cartridge for $50. It needs a fuser (occasionally puts black marks on the edges of pages), but other than that it's been great. I can pick up a fuser on ebay for $50 & put it in myself, I fully expect to get another 250K+ pages out of it.

No kidding. I checked the page count on my work printer - 900k prints! Only had the fuser changed once. It used to be the department printer but now its just mine.

What's the life expectancy of the drum?

I have a Brother Multifunction thing and the life expectancy of the drum is 20,000 pages and each drum is about $100.

Do you own a laser printer?

Yes -

IBM 4019

 

[bastula]

Yes. HP LaserJet 4L - still works like a champ after over 10 years.

 

[TheToOTaLL]

HP LaserJet 6L - got it from a client who didn't use it anymore. I've had it for about a year, and haven't had to replace the toner yet 😀

 

[Yzzim]

No one's mentioned the Lexmark E210?

It was in hot deals a couple times about 2 years ago. Got it for like $60AR I believe.

I absolutely love the thing. Haven't printed many pages on it.

Wonder what the world record is for most pages printed on a printer. Gotta be out there somewhere 😛

 

[jacob0401]

HP 4L, been using it for ~6-7 years maybe more...

 

[Antisocial Virge]

HP laserjet 4. Looks indentical to the one in the first post. Pagecount of under 28K.

 

[crystal]

HP LaserJet 2100. Page count - over 23600. Never knew I print this much.

 

I've never owned an inkjet printer. I hate inkjet-printed text. I currently own a Samsung ML-1210.

No, don't print enough to justify the expense.

Yup, and they were purchased using the BB replacement plan. Too sweet.

oh yeah, now thats what im talking about. quality printer that ive been using for almost 12 years

 

[0roo0roo]

canon image class 1100 printer/fax/copier🙂 works great

hp 1100 refurb i got off ebay for 75 dollars works quite well too.

gotta love lasers cost per page, ability to print on sh*t paper and look crisper then a top quality inkjet on uber paper🙂 not to mention on good ones many parts are replaceble.


btw, i thought the drum was part of the cartridge u replace each time?

In most consumer level printers that is the case, but there are some exceptions.

There's nothing that says they HAVE to be together, & it does allow you to replace just the failed part rather than a combined cartridge.

Yes, it does, doesn't it? Hope it serves you well!!!

Myself..........a Samsung ML-1210 (year or so old and working like a champ!) and a Brother HL-1440 (still NIB.)

 

[SunnyD]

Mita DP-570 with 10 meg of ram, which runs under WinXP with/as an HP LJ4Si. Yep, I'm using the Microsoft LaserJet 4Si drivers. Apparently, when I first got it, Mita was going to release some native PCL6 drivers for it, but the ones they had were buggy and I had real issues under Win2K (very very slow, garbled texts, etc). I called Mita tech support and after a half hour the tech says to try the HP LaserJet 4Si drivers, since the print engine in the DP-570 is the same or at least is fully compatible. Works like a charm ever since.

 

Yes, several.

Those things are rock-solid! My family used one from 1991 - 2000, and NEVER had to replace the toner. Probably 6-7 thousand pages came out of that printer. We eventually got rid of it b/c there wasn't enough memory in it.
