They'll work, with genuine HP toner. Some of the remanufactured toners will definitely not work.

Main disadvantage is 300DPI only, and not as dark as some other printers, even on the darkest setting (There is an adjustment dial inside).

Those are old beasts Chuck, didn't think any were still around.
I have a IIID still, mostly because it is too heavy to throw out.

Thanks Stefan -

Maybe I'll try to use until run out of toner.

If you weren't so far away I'd give you a spare.

I've already thrown out the printer that replaced the IIID, but the HP would still work I believe.
Still, with used working laser printers given away for free or very cheap these days it hardly seems prudent to invest in such an ancient model.
Once you have dialed in the toner transfer you will be reluctant to change.
