I suggest the HP4000 is the better one to look for these days? Like the
LJ5, a reliable workhorse, but superficially less complex, cheap to buy
and parts still easily available.

Oh, OK. Good suggestion. My LJ5 is still bashing away, so I haven't looked
into replacing it.

The LJ 4MP+ that I bought in 1992 is still soldiering on. The only PITA is
that it doesn't do duplex. I have a duplex unit but they are fragile,
useless devices so I removed it. The other workhorse printer that does
really well for me is the Xerox Phaser. Photographic quality colour on
plain paper, duplex, built like a brick outhouse.
