    I had an HP 1000 and 1100 before. It's a terrible printer when you need bulks printed because it keeps having paper jams.

    I disassembled it in an attempt to find out what is wrong with it. Apparently, it's the design. I got sick of it so I didn't bother putting it back together anymore.

    I just bought a Konica Minolta. 3yrs Warranty on everything including the drum and toner.

    But I recommend you get Kyocera. Drum is rated at about 300K pages before replacement. Some models, AFAIR, have lifetime drums (ceramic).
    Buying a new one is definitely an option if I can't get the printer repaired for under P1,000 since new lasers are just P4,500 to P7,000. I don't need a heavy duty model since I only do light printing. I try to maintain a paperless office, albeit obviously still quite unsuccessful.

    I know there are a lot of good alternatives but I have always been partial to HP lasers since they have generally not given me any problems including toner cartridge availability.

    OT Trivia - Kyocera used to make ceramic automobile engines. Not sure if they still do.

    OT Trivia - Kyocera makes one of the best ceramic knives.

    Finally found a former HP technician through DB88. What is even better is that he does house calls. He came over, examined the printer, found the defect, corrected it, cleaned it - all in a matter of minutes and for a very low price. On top of that he gave me a three month warranty. No such thing as a 3 day burn-in thingie involved.

    For those interested in availing of his services - his name is Cesar Datugan Jr. 0916-2388340. Landline is 8541672.

    He is also offering laserjets for lease. No monthly - you just have to get the re-manufactured toner from him, minimum of one every two months, with two up front.

    Will post again if something comes up. Otherwise, his service appears to be a bargain.

    Thanks, guys.
