Default What's the oldest printer you still use these days?

My colony still uses a HP LaserJet 6P connected to a 2008 15" MacBook
Pro with parallel - USB adapter. I had to install Gutenprint's
printer drivers in Mac OS X (Leopard v10.5.8 and El Capitan v10.11.6)
to use it.
I still have my HP PhotoSmart 8450 inkjet printer. They both mostly
work with a few minor annoying issues (e.g., paper feeds).

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering.


I use two HP LaserJet 4M+ machines, manufactured in 1993.


Nice. Where do they connect to?


They're on the network.

The server that drives them is running FreeBSD and CUPS. There are three
Windows 7 machines which print through that (and many FreeBSD machines).
Driver for Win 7 is easily downloaded from Microsoft but I haven't tried
Windows 10 yet.
