Dump it.

Honestly, it is not worth the effort - if it were pristine, I'd say
save it (or try to), but in this condition, you will spend countless
hours getting it to print...

I am trying to decide if it is worth loading my 100% functional, yet
toner-less printers in my truck and offering them for free at the
upcoming Trenton Computer Fest (I have a flea market spot - 736, IIRC),
and I just want these things out of my life, but I am reluctant to
simply put them on the curb... They are 1 toner cartridge away from
being useful!

Also, I am looking at my HP LaserJet 4M critically, every second/third
page gets stuck as it exits the printer (fanfolds the last 1-2" as it
exits, has to be pulled out manually) - I hope this is paper/humidity
related, but not sure...

$200 Lexmark/Samsung printers are looking pretty good ($30 rebate if
you find one at best buy):
