[Discuss] Want a working HP laser printer?



I bought a new printer because I need a better scanner, one that will 
e-mail scans, and not force me to plug in USB cable and fire up XSane.

But my old HP Laserjet 3055 still works! Free to some lucky person 
needing a B&W laser postscript printer.

Features:

 ?- Ethernet

 ?- Postscript

 ?- Works with Linux

 ?- takes non-HP toner cartridges to save money

 ?- fax

 ?- sheet feeder


Flaws:

 ?- Some noise in prints, maybe cleaning something a roller somewhere 
would fix that.

 ?- Scanner mechanism isn't always happy with its startup routine; after 
I hear the unhappy noises stop I powercycle and the next time it usually 
works; and I mostly don't turn it off so I don't need to do it often.


Anyone want a printer?


Thanks,

-kb, the Kent who would rather not put it in the trash.
