Satisfied Okidata owner
We used an Okidata OL400 for over 12 years. It still printed fine but the paper feed became problematic. We don't print photos or other color pages and preferred the OL400 over any of the HP ink jets we worked with.
So another monochrome toner based printer was our best bet. Toner packs especially the larger 7000 page size require fewer changes and are less expense per page than ink jet cartidges. The B4600 has a similar footprint as the OL400 and the same or improved capabilities so it seemed the likely choice.
We've only had it for a few weeks but are pleased with the set-up so far. The cooling fan is louder and it does run longer after printing the last page than the OL400 but the per page speed of the new printer is much faster... I'll take that trade-off. It has a larger paper tray so running a larger print job (100 pages or more) at one time is easier than the old printer. The installation was simple and since the functions are similar to the OL400 we had nothing new to learn.
I was not sure about the black body of the printer but it matches all the other electronics in the work area. I'd get another black one but I expect this one to last another 10 plus years.More detail ...
