Just doing a report and wondered if anyone knew the general answer to this... no specifics... medium output for printer.

All the printers have a rated capacity. Most of the printer has a design life of five years at rated print volume.
Normal laser printer which we use at home or small office is able to take 1000 to 2000 pages printing per month. Multiply the capacity with 60 months. That brings it to 60000 to 120000 print outs and that's its design life.

Business settings vary, but lets assume you have an HP Laserjet 2430 (a minimum workgroup monochrome laser printer). Monochrome laser printers have consumable parts which are:
Tray 2 & 3 Pickup and Feed Rollers
Tray 1 Pickup Roller
Tray 1 Separation Pad
Transfer/Charging Roller
Fuser
Image Roller (Color Laser only)
Image Transfer Belt (Color Laser only)
These are parts you replace over the life of the printer in addition to the toner cartridge.
For an HP laserjet 2430 the fuser has a life of about 125,000 pages but can last in some cases to about 300,000+. Printer parts companies are now providing roller kits which includes everything mentioned above, except the fuser.
Non-consumable assemblies that can fail, are:
Tray 1 and Tray (2 & 3) paper pickup assemblies
Laser scanner assembly
Main Motor
Formatter Assembly
DC Controller
High Voltage Power Supply
Fans
Door hinges
LCD Screen
Of course these things are replaceable. So really, a laser printer can last as long as there are parts available for it.
In a business setting though, productivity is increased when older technology is replaced with newer technology that provides faster printing and more features in addition to lower cost supplies. The typical life cycle of a laser printer in a business setting can be anywhere from 1 year to 5 years depending on the business.
Laser printers are made to be repairable which increases their life cycle.
Case Example:
I have two HP Laserjet 5si printers, one in each of two computer labs. There is a confirmed defect with the top cover assembly in this model printer. The top cover assembly has been discontinued by HP so I will have trouble getting this part. From a business sense I would choose a newer replacement model. Such as a laserjet 4350N.

i think of which you're able to desire to deliver that one to me and get a clean one... merely KIDDING!!! (yet once you mail it to me i could save it!)... I even have an HP LaserJet 4 that has printed purely 11000 pages and that i had an HP LaserJet II beforehand of this one... I printed a lot greater on the LaserJet II than I do in this one (now I merely print homework or study papers)... I have been given some years of provider out of them the two with out actual problems (changing the toner cartridge and cleansing interior cleared up any problems I even have had)... My nephew nonetheless makes use of the LaserJet II
