'Small Moose', I have a LaserJet 4 at home that I bought used from a nearby used computer store. It is pretty heavy, but I avoided the S&H by buying locally. I paid $75 for it, and it had a good toner cartridge. Haven't had to replace the cartridge yet, and it performs well. The only issue is that paper jams in the back of the machine are astoundingly hard to clear, but otherwise, I've been pretty happy with it.
