For years I've had HP2100 laser printers dotted around. I think I have
three at the moment. Cheap toner reasonable print quality and adequately

Rollers. These used to be plentiful and cheap on UK ebay but supplies
seem to be drying up unless you are prepared to pay through the nose.

My office one needs a new pick up roller, and having to order from
abroad it will take a day or two for them to arrive SO, as an experiment
I peeled the thick rubber sheath off the worn one - it comes off inside
out - then put it back still inside out presenting a fresh face to the
paper. Works a treat

Handy trick...

alas may not have helped the 2200Dn I needed to scrap recently (it made
that "I have just stripped teeth of loads of cogs" type of noise before
grinding to a halt).

A quick look at the price of parts made going for a new M402Dne an easy
choice - its smaller and faster and out performs the 2200 in every
respect, and cost less in total than just one set of parts for the old
machine.
