When I left Pennsylvania for the the Puget Sound area in 2006I left behind a beast of a color HP Laserjet 5, and I kind of regretted it immmediately. In 2013 I purchased an inexpensive and relatively lightweight color laser printer, a Xerox Phaser 6500N.) It's seen many years of varied use, from board game tokens to gift tags to comic shop signs to tabletop roleplay maps to some banal fucking paperwork. It survived being dragged to more than one convention to make wall signs. It didn't complain much about third-party toner and I found its color registration issues endearing.

I really noticed when I didn't have it available for a weeks because it had to be temnporarily moved. I finally got to hook it back up today, and I was really glad because I wanted to print a thing.

It'll print its internal test pages, but the USB connection isn't working and the printer makes a brand new buzzing sound while it's on.

It's the most reliable printer I've ever owned. (The LaserJet had some issues.) I really hope I can figure out what's wrong with it quickly so it can maintain that title!
