A Friend of mine closed down one of his offices and when he heard my
little Samsung printer had died, offered one of his office printers. I
went over there and saw a mint-condition HP Laserjet 4050 with 2 trays.
Alas, it was a little too big for my office space, but it would have
been the last printer I ever needed. They're from the Golden Age of HP,
in my opinion.

Aside: I managed desktop support for a large internet company a couple
of years back. When I hired a new batch of techs, we did a scavenger
hunt. One of the things the techs were asked to find was the oldest
printer on campus.

One person went to 2 buildings and 21 floors looking for printers and
printed test pages. He got the award for determination. Another tech
asked the printer team which printer had the most pages on it and he
looked it up in the web-based admin tool at his desk.
