I have a Color LaserJet 4500 with the JetDirect card, It had the toner replaced 5 years ago when I bought it at a yard sale. I just now put a new imaging drum in it this year. Prints excellent color, A bit slow to process a large photo, but once it goes it goes. Plus it works with all my classic macs. Has native appletalk. As long as I can get toner and parts for it, Ill never get rid of it. Plus it weighs 170lbs so its a pain to move. Other then that, Its been a good solid printer that has never given me any trouble other then the occasional paper jam, which is easy enough, just clean the rollers and go.

I think in the fall ill put a maintenence kit through it just to replace the rollers and aging stuff, As long as computers still support IP printing, Ill use this beast
