Yours might be a lemon. I've been very happy with mine except
for two things:
1) it leaves dots (2 or 3) at the top right of the first page of a job
2) The physical page is very slightly narrower than a LaserWriter Plus,
so programs that don't let you tweak the margins slightly may give
clipped pages (about 1 column on the left for my machine).
I've dumped several thousand pages of various documents and screen
dumps, and haven't yet noticed any problems other than these two.
I managed to get a nasty paper jam (I overfilled the paper tray)
that left toner all over the drum once,
but I was able to disassemble it, clean it, and get it all working again.
All in all, I like the machine a lot, and other than some design desicions
that I don't agree with, it is a well designed and constructed
machine.
