I have an HP 8500, and I regret it.
Printing is fine, but some parts fell out of the document feeder, so now, it can only scan or fax single pages. It also has this maddening way of deciding at random times that it needs to self-check and it sits there for a couple of minutes whirring and thunking.
I’m giving serious thought to replacing it with a monochrome laser.
Speaking of lasers, are there any on the SOHO market that can actually last more than 1,000 sheets before needing to be gutted and cleaned? I used to have an HP color laser - think it was a 2605? - that had a fault where the reds would fade away due to the laser optics getting dirty. After doing this for the third time, I got fed up and fobbed it off to someone on Craigslist.
