Hey, me too!  I only ever use it when I need decent 
colour though, because although the toner is reasonable, 
the other consumables (and there's quite a list) cost a 
fortune.  If the "colour developer" ever runs out of 
life I will probably scrap the whole machine bacause it 
costs several hundred pounds to replace that.

I have an HP Laserjet 4050DTN, and it's excellent for 
monochrome printing, except that paper sometimes jams in 
the duplexer unit, and I can't see a way to stop it 
happening.  Seems to be humidity dependant, and using 
cheap paper makes it more likely to happen.  But at 
16ppm in single sided mode it churns out paper at 
terrific speed, utterly reliably.  And I'm still on my 
first toner cartridge with this.
