I run multiple HP LJ 6P printers. They date from approx 1997, and are still going strong in a home office system. BTW, the P stands for Personal IIRC, and they don't have a high ppm rate. Is it 8ppm max?
Anyway, cheap to buy (approx GBP 20 on eBay) and cheap to run (toner cartridges for around GBP 10-15). Rock solid, and highly recommended.
I also have HP LJ4+ and 5M (Postscript) devices. They have a higher thoughput, and again are rock solid. The 5M is nice as it comes with inbuilt Ethernet, but since it's possible with GhostScript to print a PS document to just about any device, it's somewhat underused...
