HP Lasers and Gone Batts Revisited

Hi again.

I have been given a HP laser jet 4 Plus, and have been told that these oldies are better than a lot of the newer kit. I have quite a lot of printing to do, and have been dismayed at the speed at which the Epson ink disappears. IYO Is it worth shelling out $90 for a new cartridge, or is this kit outdated? (I do not have the old one.)

Incidentally, re Gone Batts, I got my battery going by robbing one of the parallel cells and putting it in series where two had failed. The onboad electronics is still displaying 100% wear, and the peak current will be diminished, but it will at least get through security now! Cost so far .0000001 cents for solder...if you don't count the couple of hours fluffing about.
