About 10 years ago, I maintained a few HP4 series printers. A billing
service had one with 300,000 pages. I replaced some minor plastic
parts that had worn out, and I think it ran for another 20,000 pages
before being retired. My HP4Plus went to about 130,000 pages. I know
of several others that are around 100,000 pages. Yep, they last as do
the older HPII and HPIII series printers.


I know of at least one LJ4050 that's over a million pages, and others
approaching that. The fusers wear out a bit earlier than predicted
(170-180K pages instead of 200K) and of course they've been through a
couple of sets of rollers. My old LJ4M still works, but it's not
anywhere near the class of those printers. Sometimes "new and improved"
is actually true.
