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.
