 This is indeed true.  We have a Laserwriter IINT which stripped a 
 gear after about 40,000 pages.  Apple wanted to do a complete
 print engine swap for $800.  Our electronic tech here noted that
 it was the same mechanism as in our HP LJIII, ordered the part from
 HP and installed it.  Total cost was something like $10.  

 Apple drives me crazy sometimes on these things (even being a
 Mac software developer...)
