We have been using a LJ 4M for about, oh, a year or so, as the primary
laser printer in our small-to-medium lab. It's printed about 20,000
pages or so, and has worked very well. Maintenance has consisted only
of changing the toner. Can't comment on the ability to withstand
bumps, since I don't think it's been moved since its installation.
Just my two cents; hope this helps,
