I tried adding an 8MB SIMM from an old 486 PC to one of the slots in an HP color Laserjet 5M, and it was recognized as valid memory by the self test. I didn't have a 16MB SIMM handy to test. I am not familiar with the differences in the types of 16MB SIMMs, and whether different nanonsecond rated SIMMs will cause any problem in printing to advise you with any certainty, but trial and error should be sufficient to see if you can safely use "recycled" SIMMs from PC's.
