The only problem with these ancient and durable HP Lasterjets - I used to use a 4L - is that they were slow. My modernish Brother HL2270DW - which I got for free at a garage sale because the toner cartridge was missing so they couldn't test it - is much faster and can print double-sided. And has a $20 aftermarket toner cartridge in it.

That's not completely true.

Those printers sucked so much power you could brown out your local substation.

And the amount of ozone they kicked off could be smelled in a cube farm--I don't want to think what they would do to you in a home office.
