My first Laserjet was a gift, an old CP1215 rescued by my nephew when 
his employer upgraded. It worked OK, but was USB-only, no duplex, and 
rather slow. Last year a paper jam damaged the "intermediate transfer 
belt" so that it needed to be replaced. I could find the part on Ebay, 
but it was costly and installation was tricky. It was more effective to 
purchase a gently used M254dw.

This particular printer came with toner cartridges almost used up, but 
was still using the original firmware, thus allowing it to function with 
aftermarket cartridges. I have disabled automatic firmware updates, so 
it will stay that way.

I bought a set for around $50, installed them, and they've worked 
perfectly. I've used the printer for making signs for our farm stand, 
address labels, business cards, preparing the farm taxes, and printing a 
few photos. At the moment, the black cartridge indicates 80% left, and 
the color carts say over 90% left.

Since it's close enough to my router I connected via Ethernet, as it is 
faster than wifi. I'm VERY happy with it so far.
