This is why I buy old enterprise LaserJet printers. Also, the toner cartridges are more generous and recycled* ones are relatively cheap. I currently have 4 spares which is probably enough for its entire lifecycle of me printing a return to page to flEaBay or as required by some antique government bureaucratic bullshit that demands the killing of trees.
LJ4 (the plain base model) (2005-2012) -> 4000 (2012-2020) -> M402dw (2020-present).
* Modern HP LJ printer cartridges include goddamn DRM hostile to repeated refilling, but thankfully it's not a show-stopper as overseas hackers found low-cost workarounds with (fake?) chips. Fuck the DMCA and goddamn corporate lobbyists.
- richie_adler 3y agoI worked with an old LJ 5siMX. It was a pain to set the static IP configuration but other than that, amazing. Printed a buttload of insurance policies for years, plus simple text reports improved with a few PCL commands. And a proper PS renderer, not a Win driver in sight. Bliss.
