I picked up a heavily used one at auction for dirt cheap and it has been awesome. Everything has a driver for it out of the box and it just works. I bought the cheapest generic labels I could find and they print perfectly. Thermal printers are pretty simple, I’m sure this thing could last enough 20 years. |

It depends on your print volume, but at some point the thermal head will start to wear out. On something common and simple like a GK420d this ain't terribly hard to replace, but it's definitely something to keep in mind.
But yeah, I've accumulated a couple ZPL printers from past jobs and they're fantastic. Even hand-writing ZPL is surprisingly pleasant (as far as printer languages go).
