Charles,

Will have to check how to do a firmware reset.  I have done this on some LJ4x 
laser printers, usually to reset the Jet Direct card.

Its only got the 1 meg thats built in.

I have pulled my hair out twice with 2 different LJ-4SI printers.  They both 
were low mileage (not even 100k pages) and were jamming on the 2nd page.  One 
page prints were ok.  I put in the maintenance kits in (every roller in the 
printer), fuser, toner, and even changed the input assembly in the first one.  
Turned out to be the main board in both.  HP said it was a timing problem in 
them.
I dont think this printer is worth the $$$ for repair.

Thanks
Rich
