Buy a Laserjet 5 off eBay for £25 for day to day black and white,

They are very complex and not so easy to get parts for these days -
can 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.

Same here, with 2 * LJ4M+. But I have plenty of spares, and it isn't
that complex.


LJ 2300 is also recomended. I have 3 about the place, one with a duplex
unit that just stopped working for some annoying reason, and they just
keep going also.

When it dies, i'll just buy another!

I have 6 or 7 spare LJ4+ machines...! Plus boxes of spares...

(the last two cost me £7 the pair on eBay, plus a 20 minute journey up
the road).
