Laser printer repairs.
« on: August 26, 2004, 08:46:06 AM »
The fuser in my trusty old LaserJet 6L seems to be dyin, all of the toner does not stay on the paper.
Does anyone know what the main problems with fusers are? I have no intention of paying a HP service technician 2500 SEK, when I can get a new LED-printer for less than half!

I belive that the fuser isn't hot enough. I'm downloadeing the service manual right now. Hopefully, a thorough cleaning of the fuser rolls and the heating element will make this little puppy run until I run out of toner. I bought a new toner not too far ago, so throwing the printer out would be a waste.

I ought to buy a impact printer instead; They are much more reliable! :-D

Not according to the service manual. The 6L is a very primitive thing, not even close to the Epsons, which I deal with at work every day.
