I have a LaserJet IIIp that always used to wrinkle the end of the paper. I never got around to fixing that, and now the toner cartridge is bad. Unfortunately, you can't find new ones, or (properly) remanufactured ones... at least not at a reasonable cost. Shame, it was a real good old fashioned workhorse.
I luckily found a much newer Brother laser printer at a thrift store not long ago. Didn't work, but I found a cheat code to reset it. It needed the cartridge and the drum, together about $40, but well worth it. Besides needing to be reset (dumb planned obsolescence) and the thingy, it works like a champ. It's my main shop printer now. Granted, we don't print a whole lot (receipts are still hand-written), but when we do, it's been perfectly reliable.
I also have a LaserJet 6, but I think that had the same cartridge problem as the IIIp, the drum wiper perishes and doesn't wipe anymore.
