Home office is either really dumb, or really smart. Maybe the new models of that printer have poor reputations and frequent breakdowns, and the old ones are worth repairing because they are built better and are generally more reliable. Or maybe not, and the home office are maroons.

Speaking of printers, at work I just parted with my 1995 LaserJet 5. I had taken it with me through 6 office moves over 20 years. It had printed 64,620 pages in its lifetime, and anchored this corner of the building in place with its massive tan body. I hadn't used it too much lately, but when I had to do a big print job this week, the pages were coming out dirty and a toner swap didn't fix it, so I requested a new printer. My new printer is tiny! And clean. And sparkly white. And it doesn't have a funky burnt smell when I use it. It will even print double-sided without reloading the paper in the tray after printing one side. But I'm a little worried the building will tip over now.
