I am selling this for a friend. It is an HP LaserJet 2 with new fuser
and fairly recent toner cart. He is wanting $150 for it. Please make
offers to me and I will relay messages. These are still some of the
nicest laser printers around and don't come up for sale very often, so I

don't expect it to last at this price. Due to the weight of this item he

would prefer a more localized sale. He is located in Philomath. Here are

the specs and general info (kinda long):

GENERAL INFORMATION
The LaserJet series II was the first SX-based printer on the market.
HP's initial orders were so large that Canon could not build enough to
supply both HP and Canon's other customers. Other OEM customers, such as

QMS and Apple, had to wait 6 to 9 months to get SX engines in production

quantities while HP set industry sales records. For several months,
Canon didn't even
allow itself production quantities for the Canon LBP-8II. This situation

effectively gave HP an exclusive on the SX for all of 1987. The product
was a stunning success from the start and seemed to appear on the front
page of every computer magazine. By Fall Comdex of 1988, HP was
celebrating the fact that it had sold over a million LaserJet and
LaserJet II printers.
HP did an excellent job of positioning and marketing the Series II. The
product had just the right features to work well with the most popular
software applications of the time. HP provided prototypes to key
software houses long before the II was announced. This insured a healthy

library of compatible application programs by the time the II hit the
streets. HP spent
heavily on advertising and bankrolled the distribution channels. The
LaserJet series II became the biggest revenue product in HP's history.
Distribution channels were very aggressive and discounted the product
heavily. A large percentage was sold through the gray market. HP
supported end users directly with HP service. No questions were asked
about where it was purchased. HP just fixed it if the serial number was
not too old. Low overhead gray marketers became very efficient
distributors and the product ultimately reached end users with a minimum

mark-up despite the many middlemen involved. Dealers complained
tirelessly that they couldn't make any money on HP printers, and many
big HP dealers went out of business. It didn't appear to matter for HP,
because there were always more new dealers lined up at HP's doors eager
to carry the most successful printer product ever made. From the
beginning, the II was available at most computer stores for less than
$2000. Discounted street prices dropped to about $1650 by mid 1988 and
stayed at that level until the HP LaserJet III appeared in 1990. In the
spring of 1990, HP anticipated that the introduction of the LaserJet III

would result in an excess inventory of 30 to 40 thousand LaserJet II
printers. They therefore dropped prices to dealers to blow out the IIs.
The printers sold so fast that HP had far more orders than printers and
was even unable to meet some non-cancelable orders. During the blowout,
the street prices dropped to only $995. Within a few weeks, most dealers

were out of stock, and the few that had product were able to sell it for

about $1400. This seemed ridiculously high considering that the LaserJet

III was already
discounted to only $1550. With well over a million LaserJet series II
printers sold, one would think that used ones should be available from
many sources at low prices, but they're not. HP II printers rarely need
repairs, lots of add-on products are
available, and users seem to be quite attached to them. In 1991, dealers

who had used IIs could easily sell them for $995.
The Series II features both controller and engine improvements over the
original CX-based LaserJets. The operator control panel features a 16
character Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel instead of a two digit LED
display. The front panel's extra characters make it easier to operate
that the original LaserJet without referring to the manual. Still, the
Series II does have a VCR-like quality that makes it difficult for most
users to program.

FONT INFORMATION
The Series II has only 6 different bitmapped fonts, but this deficiency
is made up for by the availability of thousands of font cartridges and
by the fact that many software packages come with built-in HP
II-compatible soft fonts.
