I think it might be time to say goodbye to the printer - if you were  
closer, I'd give you a more current HP LaserJet. I've got a few 4000  
series printers acting as 'cold spares' - I paid under $40 for each at  
university surlpus sales here, but my original printer still trundles  
on. I also have an LJ4M+, but it needs a new home - I'll never use it  
again.
