I have a HP LaserJet 6p, which has printed 22,000 pages according to the counter. Does anyone know how much more use I can expect to get out of it? What is the first component likely to fail (other than toner cartridges of course), when, and is it worth replacing or should I at that point get a new printer?

I have seen HP 6Ps with over 100,000 prints and they were still going strong. If you perform preventative maintenance there will be no long term problems. On the other hand, the 6P is such an old model, it would be advisable to replace it with a newer one. They are faster and cheaper to run.

I think that you should send that one to me and get a new one... JUST KIDDING!!! (but if you mail it to me I would keep it!)...
I have an HP LaserJet 4 that has printed only 11000 pages and I had an HP LaserJet II Prior to this one...
I printed much more on the LaserJet II than I do on this one (now I just print homework or research papers)...
I got many years of service out of them both with no real problems (changing the toner cartridge and cleaning inside cleared up any problems I have had)...
My nephew still uses the LaserJet II

The printer should last at least 5 yrs. It's the toner that will run out first. Then the drum.

reading from the manual
Maximum duty-cycle is 6,000 pages per month
the warranty was for a year originally so you have not totally maxed it out yet.
But .... it 's age must be taken in account ( the rubber pick up wheels dry out ,, the fuser might crack, or blow ) so I would not rely on it to greatly and be happy at any further use you may get from it

check your manual, it should give you the MTBF figure in there based on hours of operation or pages produced.
