The things are workhorses and last forever, they only need an input roller replacement at 10,000 copies or so, which costs about $100 for a decent printer repair shop, and very few on the used market ever went this high on the page count.
Am thinking we dropped a couple of orders of magnitude. 10k copies should be two toner cartridges. And while I agree there are probably a lot on the market with less than 10k pages I can hardly ever remember using a printer at work with less than 100k. 300k was common.
I do agree, a printer with ethernet and built-in Postscript will result in the best output and easiest support. Current employer has a Canon imageRunner 330 all in one fax, copier printer, beast. Only speaks PCL5e because they are a Windows shop and don't understand the notion of "accurate output." Tell it to print duplex from Windows XP with a 0.500" gutter margin to punch holes in and it will dutifully put the margin on the left on both sides. Prints the backside shifted into the holes.
Am exploring CUPS on the FreeBSD machine I brought from home. Looking to use it as a Postscript RIP to see if I can get better copy out of the Canon. Its not important enough to spend more than a few spare moments here and there as I am NOT I.T.
