This Laser Printers give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Cheapest to run, most reliable laser printer of all time ******
I can't really imagine why this printer doesn't have 5 stars across the board. I've used and installed dozens of these over the past two decades. They are UNBELIEVABLY reliable. They are super easy to repair (I'm a real klutz at this stuff and I can do it). The parts are plentiful and cheap.
AND--AS THE SUPER BONUS--they are THE CHEAPEST PRINT SOURCE YOU WILL FIND IN THE WESTERN WORLD. I can buy refilled toner cartridges all day long on ebay for $20. I get about 8,000 pages out of these. Hmmm...let's see...that's 4,000 pages for 2,000 cents. That's about 1/2 cent per page for printer costs (plus your paper cost)! Try to beat that ANYWHERE.
My current personal office LaserJet 4 (a 4M Plus, but I don't use the "M" or the "Plus" part) has a page count of over 300,000. I bought it (very used) about 12 years ago at a thrift store for $30. I replaced the fuser/toner about 10 years ago for about $100.
These are, quite simply, the GREATEST PRINTER VALUE ON THE PLANET--assuming...
2. The Clydesdales of All Workhorses!
I bought my LaserJet 4 about 15 years ago, when they were selling new for $1200.00, at an business auction for $750.00. That was an excellent price for it back then, and when I look at it now, I still think of how "I've gotten my money's worth" out of it.
This is an excellent machine from the people at HP. It just keeps pumping out page after page after page, with no failure of any of the mechanical elements. As a matter of fact, I've never changed out any of the working components, other than the toner cartridges. And paper jams usually occur when it is in the middle of a print job, and the paper runs out. When you print alot, it is easy to forget to fill the 250 page tray.
The manual feed allows for heavy paper weights too, almost to Card Stock levels. I run any type of paper, and don't see any difference in quality, detail or jamming.
I fill my own cartridges now, only buying refurbed replacements every once in a while, and have gotten the cost down...

A workhorse
HP set the standard for laser printing. The first true workhorse in the family was the LaserJet II, a 300-dpi printer that wouldn't quit and was relatively easy to get into and repair. In addition, it became so popular that almost every piece of software that offered printing could print to this machine. The LJ III was similar, but the real workhorse became the LJ4, a 600-dpi printer that is remarkable for its age.
The basic 4 was fine, but if you wanted a bit more flexibility, the 4M or 4M+ (with postscript capabilities) were the better choice. Also, there was a model with a page duplexer (for printing on both sides of the page). The printer isn't small or light and it produces a fair amount of fan noise all the time. Memory can be expanded to 16M (but the cost is high for this older style of memory). The printer does not come with networking built in, but adding the JetDirect card is easy and if you want to access this through a network, then it is well worth the...
