Fortunately, it is possible to buy replacement parts reasonably cheaply; check eBay. I did a full roller replacement on a LaserJet 4+ for about $25, and it's been working happily since. (Yes, I probably could have gotten another used LJ4+ for that amount of money, but the new/old one might have had the same roller problem.) I have had good luck with remanufactured cartridges for my LaserJet 4+ from Print Country (http://www.printcountry.com ); they cost about $50 each, half of what the HP cartridges cost. They also have remanufactured cartridges for the 4100; they're more expensive at $65, but still cheaper than the HP cartridges (the high capacity ones are about $130). -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
