agreed on the rollers, eventually they get a "glaze" that can be cleaned off several times. I have a used Laser jet 4n that I sweet talked the tech for the company to service 25.00 USD and I had new rollers and a general clean etc. The printer went from a paper jamming clunker to a perfectly good BW printer.

At work we just got the HP 4600 colr laser jet, this has saved us 5 times the purchase price in printing costs at the local kinkos, 700.00 in toner cartridges (5 different color cartridges) gets you 8000+ pages in color. Mind you the black is going out the fastest as mostly we are printing BW mailings with logos and small pieces of color. we have the 4600 dn and it runs about 2300.00 USD , cut the duplux and the networking and you can get it cheaper. prints about 15 pages a minute

The Xerox phaser is good too, it has a lifetime black cartidge replacement for free and if the tomer was not wax we would have gone for that, but the IT people advised that photocopying the prints will cause james as the wax will soten and stick to the copier. If this is not a problem it will be cheaper on a per page cost fue to the free BW ink.
