    the last printer i purchased and used was an HP lasterjet 4000. it ran for 15 years on a single cart. i replaced the pads once.

    its nice to just have a machine in the back and you can pull out when needed. its just too bad my requirements do not gel with corporate profits.

      HP lasterjet 4000

      Those things were amazing. They were from the golden age of HP printers. I used to service some 4000s and everything was made to be long lasting, but could be easily replaced if you needed it. They’re slow and weigh a lot (it was made of metal parts!) but rock solid printers.
