After posting my question regarding problems with my Laserjet IIIp I did a
Google search and discovered:
http://www.fixyourownprinter.com
Their archives had all the hints I needed to discover the problem was with
the surface condition of the feed wheels. I cleaned them thoroughly with
alcohol and that solved the problem. I put someone else's cartridge in and
that seems to have temporarily solved the horizontal band problem. I also
cleaned all accessible contacts in case there was a problem with these.
Right now everything is working well.
The above link seems to be a great resource. I also found a parts
supplier:
