If someone else hasn't already spoken for it, I'll take it.

   If you go to an auto parts store your receipt will likely be printed on an
Okidata 192 dot-matrix printer from the early 1980s. Those Okidata were
built like Abrams tanks.

   On the laserjet side, my HP LaserJet 5 dates from 1997 and has the last
duplexer for this model that was available in the country. It's been
thoroughly professionally cleaned once and that's it after almost 100k
sheets printed. All the early HP laserjets are rock-solid performers.

   Too bad that I don't need a fourth printer. :-)

Indeed.  I can vouch for the 4+.  Had one for ages until it didn't make
the cut on a cross country move.  I'd love to take it but the wife might
beat me with the proverbial stick if I collect any more computer related
stuff.

The 4P/MP were better than the 5 and 6 that came after (although the LJ
6MP is pretty solid). After the 6 series HP took a bit of a dive in
longevity ruggedness.  Now, its all about multifunction and its hard to
get a good printer that just prints.
