ancient laserjets

Many of the Pitney-Bowes machines were actually C.Itoh with a new brand name
on them. Heavy buggers but worked well too.

The one laser I would suggest people stay away from for high volume in HP's
line is the L series, mainly the 5L, 6L and 3100/3150 printers - unless
you're good at changing separation pads every 8 to 12 thousand pages.
