HP 4500N transfer kit out but still printing fine...

We have an HP 4500N, and the display claims that the transfer kit has
run out, but the printing quality is the same as it ever was. I'm
tempted to continue printing with the current transfer kit, although I
have a replacement ready to go. What problems could I expect to incur
by not replacing the transfer kit? What symptoms should I look for
when it's *really* time to replace it?

Ben-

Doesn't the transfer kit have something to do with moving the paper from place
to place? If it is something like a continuous, broad belt, it could do some
serious damage if it shredded, and the shreds jammed into cartridges and coated
drums. I don't think it would affect print quality until the damage was done.

At least take a look at it and see if there is any visible deterioration.
