I've not used either, but I can think of one
possible reason to keep the
older unit going -- because it's more relaible. The fact that the newer
unit is cheaper to run, and cheaper to replace, doesn't help much when
somethign failes on aSunday afternoon and you need to get printout done
for monday morning...
Tony, I have a pair of HP Laserjet printers. A 4 Plus (EX+ engine) and a
brand new 1102W, USB, Wireless et al.
My HP4+ is a workhorse. Some 500.000 pages and 10 years after, it is
STILL going strong - gasp - WITHOUT NEED OF A N Y MAINTENANCE. When I got it
with some 130000 pages printed, I disassembled everything and truly
remanufactured the printer. This is my "xod?" (a thing you like too much,
like your girlfriend or mother, but an object).
BUT I just got this 1102, and it works like a charm. I already
disassembled one, and there aren't much parts to break. Although it is
almost everything plastic, I **truly believe** this printer will outlast the
HP4 with lots of advantages. Time will see.
When something fails sunday afternoon, I just fix it, whatever it is. Or
take the file into a pendrive and print it on the local copy shop.
You know full well that financial value is not a
reason for collecting
something.
Some people sees it as a reason :oP
