Hp Laserjet Iiip

[JTip]

I thought I would offer this to my pals at the forum before I put it up on eBay...

A little copy/paste info on it...

The HP LaserJet IIIP was way ahead of the pack between 1989 and 1991 when it came out, and many of the advanced technologies that made these printers special then have become standard features since that time. When they were introduced they were smaller, faster, and lighter than anything else on the market. They were the first to make use of a charged roller system instead of corona wires. This was the technology that eliminated the need for ozone filters, because the new system did not produce harmful ozone gases. You can still benefit from owning one of these printers, like new but for a fraction of the original cost.

The LaserJet IIIP moved on to PCL Level 5, with serial and parallel I/O, and the 16 MHz CPU.

It works....but....prob requires some service, it's been upstairs collecting dust for 8 years. My research shows that it will not work with XP.

PM or email me if you have questions....

Thanks kids, Shane Tipton

I had a IIIp and loved it! That thing finally "retired" about two years ago. I think I had my for about 10 years. It reached a point where it wasn't worth fixing, and the computer tech took it off my hands for parts. I also had an HP 870 inkjet printer which also started giving me problems about the same time. I let the computer tech hold on to that one too and replaced both printers for an HP 1100 business inkjet which I have been well pleased with. The black and (3) color cartridges cost about $30-$33 bucks a pop at Staples. I suppose I could find cheaper prices elsewhere.

I'm hoping to phase out the printer to just printing drafts for proofreading, and a few other docs to review when working on an appraisal. My goal since 1 January has been to save all notes, MLS data, tax info, surveys, etc... everything related to each appraisal on my computer as a pdf file, and then back them up. Hopefully from 2005 forward my files will be paperless!

FWIW, You may get more for the printer by donating it.

Thanks for the reply Hank....

Goes to show how quick technology changes. My mentor told me he bought the hp for $900 10 years ago. Thought about the donation thing, library or school, but they have better stuff that our office!

We have 5 towers, 6 monitors, 3 fax, 2 printers and this hp sitting upstairs collecting dust. Add one every 4-5 years.

I have an HP IIIP that I tried to give away and no one would take it. I finally decided to trash it, but the garbage man wouldn't accpet it. He said I had to go to a special recycling center somewhere. I have a whole garage-full of old TV's, monitors, printers, and stuff that I can't get rid of. Perhaps I should advertise it on Ebay (LOL).
