<< ... A used laser printer is a great thing, if it works. If it needs a fuser (and eventually they all will) and/or a pickup roller, then at least in the short term it's not going to be cheap. But any used printer is a gamble, and I think the "throwaway" printer is an abomination. >> If the laser printer is based upon a Canon marking engine, a fuser roller will cost about $10 (less for a clone) and a pickup roller will cost about $6 (less for a clone). There's a reason why completely remanufactured fusers for CX and SX marking engines can be had for $49 ... 99.44 percent of the parts are usable as-is, or can very easily be remanufactured, and the remaining 0.66 percent don't cost very much. The easiest printer to self-service is the Canon CX-based LW+; the cheapest printer to operate (on a total cost-per-page basis) is the Canon SX-based LW-II (NT or later variations). A good, clean LW Pro 630 or 16/600 (Canon EX- or EX-II-based) is a great printer, and is my current all-time favorite. -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
