I'm also not really surprised that printer is still working. They made them solid back then.

However, my advice, as a person who does IT support for a living, is get a new printer. Never forget that your time is actually worth something. Don't spend more of that than dollars to fix a lost cause. Also, Microsoft makes it more and more difficult every day to support old printers. I'm surprised you have a driver to print to it.
