A piece of paper on an old printer (a laserjet 4050 to be specific. It says: "Hello, My name is LaserJet 4050 and I was made in 1999. I’ve been doing my job printing your documents for many many years, however I think the motor that powers my paper feeder is bad. This makes me sad because I’m not able to do my job very reliably. As such, I am formally presenting this document as a letter of resignation. IT is working on finding a replacement for me, but for the time being, I apologize if I tell you I have a paper jam. Please allow me to refer you to my coworker, LaserJet 3390. 3390 resides outside of Ray’s office and can be reached at: Please accept my sincerest apologies for failing. Thank you for replacing my toner and restocking my paper tray. It’s been a wonderful 14 years of working together. Much love, LaserJet 4050

Is this is repost from 2013?

Possibly 2014, to account for LJ's traineeship.

I was kind of surprised to see one of those still running for 26 years until I reached that part of the letter, although in my experience those old LaserJets were pretty robust compared to the more consumer-oriented devices of that era, let alone today’s models which mainly exist to lock buyers into ink subscriptions.

i have one of the early 'consumer oriented' mass-market models, a 4L. only recently retired due to finally running out of consumables and parts for it.

I still have a 4100 or maybe a 4200 (one or two revisions up from the one in the pic) that works just fine although it could use a new fuser that I don’t want to spend the money on. The HP laserjets of that era were absolute bulletproof monsters.
