I can't compare Apples and HP's, but I can tell you that I've been
completely satisfied with the 4/600 I bought more than 2 1/2 years ago.
It has been used heavily and has never failed.

Memory used to be horribly expensive for the 4/600, but it's not so
bad now.  I think I paid more than $400 for the 4 MB upgrade years ago,
but if you call around to the vendors listed on RAMwatch, I bet you'll
get it for less than $100.

Installation was a bit tricky, but only because I dropped one of the
damn screws into the guts of the printer, and then touched the corona
wire with a greasy finger while fishing for it. :-/  Not an easy job,
but it doesn't require an expert.  It's not as tough as assembling a
kid's toy, or anything.
