I don't know of any repository of such information.

The best thing to do when considering the purchase of any major piece of 
equipment is to go to sites that provide for 'user comments' on what it is 
you want to buy.   They are a wealth of information.

I just went looking for the HP 1320 reviews since I thought that was the 
printer that the '80% left' comment pertained to.   I didn't find any 
reference to that but I did find a wealth of negative comments on the 1320 
that mainly dealt with  a terrible manual feed, and noise.   Many people 
didn't like the printer, some taking it back to where they bought it... but I 
use this only as an example of what you may find.
