We ran a III like a dog for years at a company I used to work for. We
routinely printed huge documents on it. I think in the 8 years we used
it, I think the only real failure, was on a network card. We very
occasionally would use HP's "refresher" kit which was basically new
rollers, maybe a fusing wire(right term?) and a few odds and ends.
I want to say we had 200k pages on it, and only replaced it because the
newer printers were faster and had more memory (could handle more
complex documents, like big pdfs)
The duplexer was not very reliable, but did not get much use.

If it were a
full III, I'd tell you to keep it, it is still a good
printer. But IIIP? Trashcan!
While I agree that the "P" versions were nowhere near the workhorses of
the "full" versions, I've personally found them to be surprisingly
reliable for light-duty work.
