I just acquired a HP LaserJet IIIp and a Xerox 5305 copier.  Both need work.

The copier works but has smudges so I suspect needs a through cleaning. 
 I cant find a manual anywhere.  Anyone know where I can find one.  I 
did a search on Google and got just lots of cartridge dealers. Is $100 a 
reasonable price for these ink cartridges???  I also need to know if 
there was a paper cartridge for it or was it just a single feed by hand 
system.  It doesn't make sense to be a single feed system?

The Printer does not work and I need some guidance on how to open it up. 
 When running it seems to be running but it makes a very fast whirring 
sound as though something has thrown a belt or stripped a gear and is 
allowing a motor to spin out of control.  There is no paper feed.  I 
need info, before I screw it up by just barging in, on how to open it up 
and if anyone has an idea on where the trouble may be.
