Re HP 8150 - for more modest printer needs (not as fast but smaller
than a microwave oven) the HP 2100TN is bullet-proof - I have had one
networked for 50 users/20 terminals in a Primary School for 6+ years,
serviced once (staple jammed inside), and have purchased 2 more at
auction, <$30 each with almost full toner, for use in home business
desktop publishing. I have also had much success with other HP models
from auction ($10-$20 each) for conventional home use, and of course
the toner refills are cheap and last a very long time - beats inkjet
for black & white every time!

Hi Bob,
I'll let you in on our little secret, we buy them at auction for
about $200 - $400, most have hardly been run in, we check the duty
cycle before purchase. No one wants to purchase them because they are
the size of a washing machine. I have had the previous model for 5
years and it never skipped a beat nor did I ever service it. It gets
absolutely hammered at work. The toners are huge and last 6 months
but cost less than $100 to recharge. Cheapest, fastest and most
reliable printers on the market.
Regards,
Eugene

I haven't experienced printing delays but we have just installed a
new HP 8150 which is so fast the paper flies out the tray before
you hit the print button!
At 32 pages per minute and $4000 I would hope so !
Beats an old Stylewriter 2 or Epson Photo 700 ........... !
Oh I wish ..... !
But then one can't have the dollars and the Printer.
