Need to find similar or better printer replacement
My church has an OKI 5400n that had a 020 fatal error on the display.
I reseated what appears to be labeled a ROM chip on the mainboard, and it worked for another two weeks.
Repeating the process today did not recover, so I believe we have two options. Either replace that chip, which I have been unable to locate (it looks like a small simm), or buy a new printer.
I believe the OKI was about $1400 new, but they got it second-hand.
They do not need to stick with OKI necessarily, but I believe they will want the replacement to be just as fast.
It is identified as a workgroup printer. It would need to have it's own network interface and compete with the following specifications.
Up to 24 ppm - B/W
Up to 16 ppm - color
1200 dpi x 600 dpi -B/W or color
I found a couple that would be faster B/W printing, but drastically lower in color. I have had difficulty finding the same dpi settings or better as well, so I am looking for recommendations here. I will increase points for any information on the ROM chip, or the fatal error condition as well.
Thank you for your time.

Anyone know if replacing the ROM chip would fix the old one?
