HP LaserJet 5 - printouts have vertical mark down the left margin - please help

Okay, I'm having problems joining the two parts together.

1) Download "HPLJ-5-5M-Manual[1].zip.001"
2) Download "HPLJ-5-5M-Manual[1].zip.002"
3) MD5 Checksum for both files is okay
4) Join files with MasterSplitter 4.1i generates "HPLJ-5-5M-Manual[1].zip"
5) But, extracting "HPLJ-5-5M-Manual.pdf" with WinZip 7.0 says ...

"Dll: C:\Program Files\WinZip\WZ32.DLL - 10/17/98 7:00 AM
Extracting to "...\downloads\HP LaserJet 5 - Service Manual\"
Use Path: yes Overlay Files: no
Extracting HPLJ-5-5M-Manual.pdf
Error: invalid compressed data to inflate"

Anyone know what's wrong?

I haven't actually checked the files.
The service manual is also available at

http://www.eserviceinfo.com/download...%204,4+,5.html
http://www.eserviceinfo.com/download...%204,4+,5.html
http://www.eserviceinfo.com/download...%204,4+,5.html

Download all 3 files into the same folder and unRAR them, this manual covers 3
modles including the LJ5
Good luck
Tony
