Quick - get them while you can:

Another company that shares our offices are disposing of several CRTs 
(15"-17"), two laserprinters - HP1200 and HP1300, one photo-bubble jet (epson 
d88)

hp 1200: seems physically sound, just cycles paper through. haven't had time 
to see if it's a driver issue, but could also be memory. probably ok after a 
bit of tinkering to see what's up with it.

hp1300: screws up paper and over irons the paper. i've had a quick look and 
the heater element sleeve is broken - which would explain the symptoms. the 
heater element from the hp1200 is different, according to the interwebthingy, 
so not a case of swapping out. haven't found a supplier for a heater element 
after a 2min google.

epson d88: you switch it on and it flashes at you (red LEDs alternate flashes 
between ink symbol and paper symbol). couldn't be bothered trying to work it 
out - can you?

if you want them you'll need to pick them up (near the castle in lancaster) 
ASAFP - they're about to be shipped to china to be broken up by children
