I have an old HP LJet beast too, originally bought to do toner-transfer 
artwork for printed circuit boards.  My only wonder is when will the 
last aftermarket supplier of toner eventually close its doors?  That, 
and eventually it'll become impossible to get replacement wear parts. 
The duplexer is already prone to jamming.

Here's to keeping old, perfectly-functional tech alive!
