I wouldn't worry about that, we've got a 4L in the office still (that works
under 2K) and have no problem getting toners for it.  Our maintenance people
told me once (when the fuser broke) that the engine was used in a shit load
of different printers not just HP and will be around for a long time yet so
spares aren't really a problem either (just now).  I don't know about the 5L
and 6L but the toner on the 4L seems to last forever unlike the newer
Brother lasers we have in the office which use toners like it's going out of
fashion.
