The great news about this $15 printer is that the page count from the
Postscript test page is about 6500 (the PCL test page shows 35).
It's a university surplus printer, so either it was tucked away in the
back of a Mac lab (has LocalTalk) or it was recently heavily refurbed.
I know how generous my alma mater is... it was almost certainly ignored
for its entire working life to only have 6500 pages show.
There was a stripped gear in the fuser assy. ($0.87 from printerworks.com)
so perhaps it worked for a while, suffered some user abuse from clearing
paper jams and sat for several years until recently hauled away.
