[GRLUG] Cheap laser printer

[David Pembrook]

30 watts in standby??!!! I'm glad mine isn't turned on.. I've got a 
spare jet direct card for one if anyone has need.

I should offer the hp4p as well as its only gathering dust. Ok, one hp4p 
with jet direct card working with toner (last time I used it) and a jet 
direct card to anyone that has need.

Contact me off list, no cost just pick it up.
