HP used to make freakin’ tanks, and I had a LasterJet 4MV or 4M+for something close to 15 years. Bought it rebuilt (AFTER they stopped manufacturing it). :-). I can’t speak to anything they produced after 2005, though. I’ve been extremely happy with my Canon — but I don’t use it from OpenBSD (though someday I will get around to it). They make engines that a lot of other companies use. I used to subscribe to the idea that buying a used “enterprise” printer was ideal (hence the used HPs — I had two, they both were awesome), but I’ve been seduced by short click-to-clack times. What I still believe: Get a printer that does one thing: Print. No gizmofrobs or wingdings. And get a laser printer. Ink is a nightmare. Sean PS I used to work at a printer company (actually two). I used to know a LOT about printers (particularly PostScript printers). I don’t anymore (I’ve been out of that space for . . . wow. 18 years now. . .). It wasn’t HP.
