    I have a color laserjet that I'm tired of listening to*. It finally broke, but its an easy, tool-less fix. I'm taking the opportunity to buy a smaller, new printer instead. It does faxes, color copies, and scans. I assume it faxes, but I have never used that aspect.

    This is a color LASER, not an inkjet. It will do thousands of color images (that are waterproof) per toner cartrige. (each cart is a different color so you replace what is needed only)

    Defects:
    NEEDS a new Fuser assembly. It wont print at all and just throws an error.) Ive found refurbs on Amazon for as low as $90. I can show you how to replace it. (you turn two levers, pull it off and reverse the procedure with the new one... a 30 second fix.)
    Amazon.com: RG5-7602 HP RG5-7602 HP RG5-7602: Electronics

    The Auto Document Feeder pickup pads are wearing down and could stand to be replaced. This only affects the ADF (you want to scan/copy a stack of papers automatically). If you are only putting things on the glass to scan or copy you'll never notice the issue.

    *Its also has a minor annoyance. There is a bug in the system that makes it recalibrate several times a day. Its not crazy, it just roars to life, the drums cycle internally like its getting ready to print, then goes back to sleep. (just dont set it up near your bedroom)

    With all that being said, its free to someone who wants to invest a little in it and have a great printer. Warning, Its HEAVY and kinda big. Its a workgroup printer, so be prepared. That's a ruler sitting on the dark grey plastic for scale.



    It includes:
    The printer, as-is
    power cord
    USB cord.

    It can also be connected to an ethernet hub to be shared with multiple networked computers. It doesnt have built in wireless, but I guess you could attach a wireless bridge to the ethernet port to make it wireless.
