I found a LaserWriter Plus in Bethel one day (they were by the local flea market then) and I bought it and it took me forever to figure out why it wouldn't go-someone had taken the paper tray out of it. The printer I got for less than $30, this was back around 2000, but once I finally figured out what was wrong with it I looked up the paper tray to get it to print anything and the cost was close to $100 for a paper tray for a poor less than $30 (I want to say it was $25) printer. 71 pounds was huge! (Especially for an 11-year old, which I was at the time.) I put it out to the street a long time ago, because I didn't know I would be getting a Mac 128k as late as I did. I was expecting it much sooner; stupid shortsighted me! (I will however try to make my Lucky VII HP LaserJet 4000N working with it, since I have the necessary PhoneNet connector for the 128k (it has the same serial port as the long-gone LaserWriter Plus.)
With that said, I haven't had any luck with printers shipped to me unless they were A) shipped from less than 100 miles away and B) were shipped in the foam in place packaging system. Followed those two rules and I have two operational printers from eBay.
Hope this helps and have a great day!
