I print to 1200's 4si's 5si's from bsd. The 4si's and 5si's are probably THE most durable printer that I have ever seen. They are rather big and heavy but they can push alot of paper. Make sure to inquire about the last time the fuser had been replaced before you purchase one. You can purchase maint. kits for around 150 bux. That cheap printer might end up costing you another 150 bux if you aren't careful. Fusers get scratched or go bad but it's nice to at least have a general idea when the next replacement is due.
