We had several LJ-4SI printers at the office which went through many 
hours of heavy use.  Replaced them with the LJ-5 models.  It seems your 
experience with LJ defects are the same as mine.  I've had very few 
mechanical failures in HP LJ printers over the years.  99% of the time 
the failure is electronic.  You're probably right about the printer not 
being worth repairing.
