Heck, I've got you beat: I still use an Apple Laserwriter II (HP LJ
II) sometimes.

Stop, you're making me cry. I had an LJ II, then a III, both with PostScript
cartridges. I'm still using the 4M I bought over 15 years ago.

About 3 years ago, I discovered that only a few of my customers were
still running HP LJII and LJIII printers. *So, I cleaned up the few I
had in storage and tried to sell them. *No takers. *So, I tried to
give them away. *No takers. *So, I recycled the mess, keeping only the
repair parts collection and toner carts. *I did the same with HP LJ4
and LJ5 printers about 6 months ago. *The office and storage space was
costing me more than the printers were worth. *I even left them by the
roadway with a "free" sign, and found that someone had added a extra
Apple LW2 printer to the pile.

Most of my customers are currently using HP LJ4000/4100 or 4200/4300
series printers. *They have their own collection of problems, but are
much faster and more economical to operate (16,000 pages per toner
cart on the 4300). *The HP LJ4200 will do 16 to 53 lb paper, so 80 lb
won't work. *Speed, smaller footprint, and not having to listen to the
fan cycling all day are the main advantages. *Multiple trays, double
sided printing, ethernet, and web admin are other benefits.

For the home, I like the HP LJ2200dtn or LJ2000dn printer.
