I have 1 LaserJet IIp and 3 LaserJet IIIp printers.
None of them are really
Trash. They were unusable when new, they are unusable squared now.
I could always use an extra printer, so I have to
decide if I should get
them working or just dump them and get something new when I really need
it.
If it were a full III, I'd tell you to keep it, it is still a good
printer. But IIIP? Trashcan!
Is there a source for GOOD toner cartridges? Google
finds a bunch of
cartridges, but how many are junk refills? I am willing to pay for good
Make it yourself :)
cartridges, but I can't tell good from bad. Are
feeding parts available if
they start to pull multiple sheets, etc? Are there reputable sources?
There is a smal solenoid that locks one of the paper pull rollers. This
solenoid has a smal foam disk on it that when gets old, it locks the
solenoid closed and creates all types of paper feeding problems. It is on
the right side of the printer, I believe you can see it with the door
opened. Replace the foam disk with something like electric tape and you're
set.
I know these have a good reputation generally, and I
used one for a long
time in the '90s.
I just hate them :)
