I had my HP Laserjet 5 repaired last year for $70 at
A to Z Laser Printer Repair
443 Old Hwy 8 # 102A
New Brighton MN 55112
My symptoms resembled yours; the fuser had to be replaced.
Those old HP LJ5s are built like military tanks, and just keep on
keepin' on. Mine was under steady use in a large office for 15+
years, where it cranked out thousands of pages per month, before its
fuser broke down. In my home office, I expect to expire before it does.
Alternatively, you stand a good chance to find an used one at
MPC/Reboot in Eagan for ~$50. http://www.reboot-store.com/
