After years of looking at an HP LJ4L I got at the Uni

someone had removed the fuser from, I found a nearly-unused 4L at the
nearby thrift store yesterday. It printed the test page without a
burp, but was on the shelf without a price. I found someone to get it
priced and walked out a happy customer $6 later.
I had pretty much given up on finding interesting vintage electronics
at Goodwill, but I also made a good score last summer: a Data General
LDM-800 line matrix printer for $4.95 (half-price day). There's not a
thing wrong with it, after a couple of alignment procedures. They
actually had two of them, but I only had room for one. :-)
