I didn't have this problem with 4 and 5. Oh yeah, *those* messages. I did have those too. As a last gasp effort, I gave my LJ4+ a thorough cleaning and replaced the rollers for the output feed in the back. And hey, it seems to be working now! The way it had been sounding, I was sure I'd broken something the last time I replaced the toner cartridge after clearing a paper jam. But maybe I just didn't have the cartridge properly seated... So now I'm looking into ways to adapt it to use a network connection.
