I acquired a HP 4050N mono laser printer back in 2001 that was no longer required following a technology refresh and outsourcing transition for a government department. It wasn't new then, but over 19 years later it's still going strong! OK, the duplex unit no longer works, but I just removed it. The long life cartridges are good for 10,000 pages, so last about 5 years or so (and new old stock are dirt cheap on eb@y). Best acquisition ever, especially as it cost me nothing.
By contrast, I've had 3 inkjet printers over the same time span that have all fallen by the wayside due to clogged print heads - OK, we didn't often use colour printing, but such a pain to have to spend an hour (or so it seemed) clearing the print heads to occasionally print anything in colour. Never again. I'm going to get a colour laser when (if) the HP 4050N finally dies. I don't have space for 2 printers any more, otherwise I'd already have bought one. SD |
Thanks for all the help. Still not decided on the solution. Daughter resents dumping the HP, and is "thinking". Meanwhile, using my printer which uses cheap inks.
