Heh ~ rebuilding a 4200 fuser as we speak.
I have been an HP advocate since my first college HP45 calculator (which
I still have in working condition). All engineers wore them proudly on
the belt. How embarrassing now. Even went and visited them in Palo Alto
in the 90s on a trip to SF and ladled plenty of praise.
But the 10XX desktop range turned me right off. I wouldn't mind if it
was just the printer that was disposable (preferably recyclable) but
they took down the PC with them and on more than one occasion, the
infamous spooler crash necessitated a reload of the O/S. No amount of
(un)installing, use of CleanSpl and smacking the user in the head would
help.

Amen. The new printers are disposable. I love to see the old 8000 series
still chugging along (as well as a 5mp that still runs).
Preach it, brother Steve. I've got an LaserJet 4 at home that still
works. The thing must be almost old enough to drive by now. With the
current printers on the market (from any manufacturer), you're lucky
to get 5 years.
