For a used printer, you cannot trust the Page Count to tell the real pages it has been printed. The page count of this HP LaserJet 6P can be easily reset by pressing and holding the Job-Cancel button for 20 seconds while turning on the power switch. This LaserJet 6P is a model of HP printer at year 1998, it has been more than 12 years now. (Today: 2010). In a very light usage, the page count should be about 100K pages even if it has been only used two toner cartridges (which each can last 4K page) per year. The printer has its life span on its rollers that should be replaced for every 100K page according to HP maintenance service supplement. My experience tells me that they should be still good for 150K pages. So, if you see a description that tells you it has only 10K page count or even lower, think again. Is there a low page count with toner-dust (which is a light gray dust) everywhere? (The best place to check: open the left side panel that for installing memory and check the inside surface, especially the inside corners, to see if the toner-dust appears). Unfortunately, you cannot check it online. Be advised, seller has no obligation to tell whether its page count has been reset. With the knowledge, judge it yourself riskily. And, by the way, it is really a very good printer. It is reliable and low cost to operate.Read full review
I have had two used laserjets in use at home and in the office. I have never had a new one, always buy used and get them for around $25-50. They are a workhorse. They take a little time to get the message from the computer, but they will run and run and run. I would not buy a new laser black and white printer when I can get one at such a low cost used. And....the cartridges are really cheap on ebay also. If you want a good solid laser printer...this is the one that will get the job done. I would rate it excellent, but it does take longer to get the job in memory than my inkjet.
I have another just like it so it was easy to swap out to test it. It works just the way it should. This one will be used in another location. It was well packed however UPS managed to smash in one corner and brook off one corner of the pull down lid. A little supper glue fixed that. I know it wasn't that way. It was too obvious.

I have used this model printer at work for the past 10 years. I have used it as a low volume printer, dedicated to printing Service Work Orders. The reason why I bought this printer was that it is a great, low volume Workhorse of a printer. I say low volume, because it prints at a speed of 7-9 pages per minute. I am fed up with paying $60-$100 for ink, that dries up in 4-6 months. The printers marketed for the home will eat you alive in liquid ink, especially if you don't print alot. Nowadays it makes no sense to buy a bunch of hardware for printing photos at home, when all the big Chain Stores offer print on demand services for pennies per picture. That brings me back to this printer. It uses black toner (no color) and the Toner is DRY. This means that if I don't use the printer for a year, it will still print a perfect copy when called on. Better yet, The toner cartridges are inexpensive on EBay, and yo get 3000+ copies per cartridge. The "Ink" printer would have gummed up or dried out, causing me to make a trip to the store. Another Benefit: The Kids can go to the Coloring Book websites and print pages to color, and I don't have to worry about the ink issue! Hooray!Read full review
One of the best HP's ever built! Have used this since 2001 in my college days - bought used on E-Bay back in 2001 and it's still going strong today...Original date of manufacture of my printer is 1997. Original rollers and everything. Kinda slow by today's standards at only 8PPM, but print quality is superb and print cartridges are cheap and last forever. Parallel port printer only but can be networked with an external Jet Direct box (what I do) or either a Parallel to USB adapter. Works great on the network with all my Windows 7 machines. Haven't tried with Windows 10 but I don't see any reason it wouldn't work. I love this printer! It got me through college and is still with me today. I have a newer HP laser that prints 30PPM and duplexes when I need the speed, but the build quality isn't nearly as good as this 6P tank of a printer.Read full review
