Old thread.. but I've been looking too.
I have an old HP LaserJet 6MP that is nearly bombproof. It's like
the Energizer bunny. It started having feeding trouble a couple
months back but that stopped when I put it on a solid surface instead
of a wire shelf.
I'll get a color laser when th

My Konica works the same way.
