For me the HP 4 Plus (or the 5 Plus) is the
winner.
Agreed.
- Very reliable EX+ mech
- 7000 pages/toner load
- Original toner cartridge can be reloaded 3 or 4 times without changing
cylinder
- VERY sturdy
- Last cheap model using an aluminiun fuser cylinder (the newer or
cheaper lasers uses a tube of teflom, easy to rip or puncture) and a real
fuser lamp (instead of a fragile and expensive ceramic resistance)
- All the (metal) gears into JUST ONE module
- One "fuse" gear separated from the gear module - if the fuser locks
up, the "fuse" gear breaks, and it is a $1 replacement
- 600 DPI with Resolution Enhancement
- Cheap network board
- Uses common 72-pin SIMM memory from PC
Note that the 4 (without the '+') uses different memory!
(parity)
And, if you stuff a PostScript SIMM into a 4+ (along with
the JetDirect card) it automatically morphs into a 4M+.
I think I have 66MB in mine so printing even big documents
is really quite fast!
- Has serial/parallel ports
And 10Base2/T/Appletalk with the JetDirect card
