I have purchased three of these printers on Ebay for my business and home. All were approximately four years old. They had between 500 and 18,000 pages printed. The reason for the flood of these printers on the market at inexpensive prices is that many are coming off corporate leases. The printers originally cost over $1000. According to the printer repair company that services my other HP printers including an HP Laserjet 4 purchased in 1991, these printers should work flawlessly for up to 75,000 pages. At that stage, you will need about $100 repair for replacement of rollers and seperator pad. Then you should be good to go until about 200,000 pages where major servicing may be required. If you want a current model HP laserjet printer that is networkable and does two-sided printing you will spend approximately $500 and according to my repair company its not as well made. Good Luck.
