Jesus, yeah. Is that how bad laser printers have gotten these days?

My family's workhorse printer was an HP Laserjet IIP, the first consumer-level laser printer released by Hewlett Packard in 1989. Cost the family a pretty penny, but I always had the best-looking printouts of all the kids in class.

That thing was from back when printers were built to last, not get replaced. You could have that thing open and spread out on your table with 5 minutes and a single screwdriver. I'm pretty sure if my family fished it out of the attic and found a USB->Parallel adapter, it would probably fire right up after 10 years dormant and start running off pages without issue. I fucking loved that printer.

Of course, having grown up around laser printers, you can imagine my inward groan when I read the thread title...
