My Sinclair ZX81 still has a working thermal printer, I'm kind of dating myself...lol.

That OfficeJet 95 is a beast and was a great small business unit back in the day. Built really well and meant to last. It is the main reason why HP discontinued support of that model, to increase sales of newer units as people who had the 95 were reluctant to upgrade.

The main problem with repairs is that most times the skill required to desolder a capacitor from a board and install a new one is beyond the skills of most "repair" techs. Heck most techs can't even identify which capacitor needs replacing.
