I have nothing but good feelings about LaserJet I-6 and the 4000s era circa 1998. I've heard newer models aren't quite as tanks.

Lots of good/reasonable experience with Deskjet 660 and 720C. Although the driver situation for 64-bit windows got real terrible (microsoft had a working driver for server 2003, but insisted on shipping a broken driver for vista/7, so you had to dig up the old one. I think Windows 10 changed the driver model, but I had abanonded the printer for something worse by then. HP support forums could tell you how, but couldn't get it fixed in windows update)

My 4000N from october -98 is still running strong. It only has around 140K impressions so far, so I guess I’ll die before the printer :)
