We recently had to bring in new lasers at work. I got LJ 1022s and tbh they are tacky and very lightly built, even compared to the 5 year old 1200s they are working alongside. They are more economical to run being HPs (no new fuser drums that cost as much as the printer every 50,000 copies) but even so, they aren't as nice as the old ones, despite being faster.

Which reminds me - anyone know how to rectify a slipping paper feed system on a LaserJet 5? Ours has been great until recently when it started jamming because the rollers are slipping. perhaps I should run some abrasive along the rubber rollers?
