We have a laserjet 4 in the accounts office. It has outlasted 3 HP1320N's and it has been decided to keep it out of the cupboard until it too dies.....

Not to get too far off the subject, but LaserJet 5? Why are you still using that? They are tanks and last forever, but compared to anything you can get today you are hemorrhaging money just to keep it running. Here are 2 links that will prove it. HP LaserJet Power Calculator. (You will need to know what you pay per KWH.) You can compare new HP printers to Legacy HP printers or current competitive printers. This is really useful and for people trying to save money any way they can, this tells them exactly where the money is going. http://hpbroadband.com/(S(q3zkyv45j14ant45zwnel1rb))/program.aspx?key=In stantOnMFPs LaserJet Page Cost Calculator. 70% of an HP printer's technology (not sure what it is on other brands) is in the cartridge, so it is very important to control the ongoing cost of every printer with consistency in manufacture. In most cases man-hours are much more expensive than just getting the product that is more easily supported and cost the end user or customer less than a single day of consulting fees. http://www.hp.com/large/ipg/mfp/competitive-comparison-m4345mfp.html?jum pid=ex_r2548_go/pagecost I'm not saying don't fix the current issue or anything (sometimes you just have to make things work), but you can use these tools in the future to differentiate your value to your customer/boss etc. from your competition and peers.
