I'm in the market for a printer and would appreciate any

ask again for any recent experiences.
I'd like a networked monochrome laser printer with duplex printing.
Not sure about new printers or duplex printers, but I love the old HP printers
(versions III through 5). They just keep running.
I did buy a new HP printer that was complete junk on accident with grant
money, now I can't remember the model number, but some labmates have a
different new HP that's great. I guess you have to watch out for the HP
models that are trying to compete on price, they are as junky as all the other
brands out there.
HP LaserJet 2600n - Full color, network ready, blah blah blah -- It
looks like a steal at $300, but its complete junk. I've had to get 2
replacements for the 1 I've purchased. Also the consumables are more
expensive to replace than the printer itself. Completely ridiculous.
At home, I'm still using an HP Laserjet IIIP, which is nearly as old as I
am.
At work we use a 5P which may be slow, but shows no sign of ever dying.
