This is also my experience.  We have a whole range of HP laserjets, 
from III to 8000DN and the old models are definitely more reliable.

Another issue is if you will be printing to your printer from Windows 
workstations.  The Microsoft-provided drivers (which only cover the 
earlier ranges) are much more reliable than the HP drivers.  We've had 
endless pain with HP drivers for the newer models.
