    Both the LJII and LJIII are getting a bit on the old side.  I am 
starting to see some of the newest OSs
that do not support legacy printers.  I got my LJ4 on its way to the 
dumpster due to paper jams.
A local shop that does nothing but printer repairs and toner refills, 
replaced all the rubber parts in the
paper path for $50.  It is 600dpi and solid as a rock.

I would look for a used LJ2100/2200 - both do 1200dpi and will be 
supported for several more years.
For support you can't beat HP - I can always get parts and supplies.

If you do find a LJII or LJIII for free, grab it but don't spend over 
$100 including toner, to make it work.
