An irony of this printer is a new drum is $180 MSRP but refurbished  
5250's or 5240's are about $100.

If ever my drum needs replacement I'll buy a refurbished printer.

The 5240 is the same thing but without network, duplex, or postscript.  
So when buying for spare parts its just as good as a 5250.
