I've had mixed luck with the Okidata OL400: I've bought four so far, all from ebay. Drum quality varies a lot, and one that I bought had a broken "fuser" which my local repair shop quoted $250 to replace. That said, I'd still buy one: they run about $50+ on ebay. I recommend anyone buying one this way should figure they'll need a replacement drum ($72 refurb), and the 2MB memory upgrade unless the unit already has it ($57), but once you get one going they're great workhorses and will do anything a HP Laserjet II will do. They're also quiet enough to use when the kids are asleep, and print 4 PPM. FWIW. YMMV.
