My 520 kept slamming against the stop and I found it was caused by a bad connection on one of the pins of the parallel cable. If it runs self-test with no problems when the cable is disconnected, that might be the situation.
For a low-priced laser printer, I'd pick the HP6L (either version LSE or LXI, the difference is in the supplied Win95 software.) I've seen it for $369 at Costco.
