From HP's documentation page for the IIIp:

52 Error - A temporary error has occurred.

Power cycle the printer. On some models pressing the Continue button on the control panel will resume operation.

If the error persists, it could indicate an issue with the scanning assembly. Contact a dealer or HP Service Technician.

When a print job is sent, paper doesn't pick up and a 52 error is displayed on the LCD panel.

The scanner motor is not spinning up to the correct speed. This problem can only be fixed by replacing the scanner motor.

Solution: Replace the necessary parts

I agree with Bruno's diagnosis. Scanner motor repair kit is also available from www.fixyourownprinter.com (USA) for $49.95 + postage. This includes a very helpful explanatory video. They do export, I am in the UK and bought the same kit from them - very good. Cheers.
