 It was mostly the earlier then Laser II HP printers. I have donated
several HP 4P printers and they work fine with almost any copier paper. 
 I don't speak to any of the other Laser Printers as the onel ones I
have had much to do wity was a couple of Epson Laser 1500 models. They
were a quality machine but the Toner cartridges cost about $190.00
I understand some of the Lexmark Lasers have somewhat expensive toner
cartridges.      
But even with the $70 cost of the cartridge for my HP 5P I get 5000
copies plus. That figures  out to 1.4 Cents per page for the toner.
I don't concider that too bad concidering the quality of the output.
And for vouums of printing the silence of the Laser compaired to the Dot
Martix.
