Walked in a pile, eh?
Sunday I was browsing craigslist, and a guy was
giving away a laser printer. So. Monday we went and picked it up. Glad I brought a dolly with me.
It's an HP 8000DN - think of my 5Si on steroids. By the way, the "D" stands for duplexer (included) and the "N" stands for networking (also included).
We wrestled it home and fired it up. It's built like a tank, and I know from whereof I speak regarding tanks. Everything works like a charm, including the built-in Postscript, PCL5e and PCL6. It also has a 1200 dpi mode that I haven't explored yet.
Original MSRP on these things ranged from $2500-3500.
I think I found another pile to wallow in.
Sorry to bump an old thread (again!) but ...
I was perusing craigslist and I see someone
giving away a color laser. I checked, and it was a company who seemed to be having problems ("might have a fuser issue") so ... come and get it.
So I did.
Turns out it's a
Dell 3130cn. I checked it out, ran a test page, all looked good. So they helped me get it into my car and "Thank you. Bye"
It had a built in duplexer ($199 from Dell), the additional paper tray ($200 from Dell), and it turns out the toner carts are all full and high-capacity ($249 each from Dell).
Oh, the 'fuser' problem? Well, if you shake the toner cart the toner will distribute itself around nicely, and after a few pages it prints just fine.
Talk about a pile ...
