Once, I got some self-adhesive labels wrapped around the drum on a
Canon, and with nothing to lose, used cotton pads and iso-propyl
alcohol to remove them. After a few sheets, it was as good as new.

All the IIIs I've seen had JetDirect cards (they all came from
netwroked environments). They only work as single-protocol in a III,
but just about any JetDirect MIO card should work, as far as I
remember. Look for J2250A, J2550B, J2552A or J2552B (that's what are
in my 4s, 5s, and 1600).
