Parts are easier to ship, too!
At work, I run an HP LaserJet 4200. It's over 10 years old and has over 175k on the page counter, but it will do 30ppm output. That's overkill for me, but I won't complain! I use it because I have it. After figuring the cost of a newer unit, a new basic monochrome Xerox wouldn't cost much (If any) more than my HP. But, I already have it. Other people have older printers too, and need parts.
It's not that nobody wants a LaserJet 4200, it's that nobody wants to pay $60 to ship it when a brand new laser can be had for around $100. a $20 fuser isn't a big deal, whereas a $100 purchase is.
