[clug] [for sale] HP Laserjet 6P

[Gavin Jackson]

Hi all,

Following on from this thread I have a Laserjet 6P for sale.

Works fine under linux (given it speaks postscript). I currently have  
it set up on a cups/samba server that shares it out to my networked  
linux/windows/mac boxes.

Specs can be found here: http://www.printerworks.com/DataSheets/ 
laserjet6P.html

Unknown toner level (may be due for an upgrade soon - be warned a new  
toner cartridge will cost more than the actual printer - kind of  
ironic really).
Price $50ono

Cheers,
Gavin Jackson
