I suppose a fuser is a quick install (did many of those at my last job), but just getting someone to look at it is usually a costly venture. > Those old HP LJ5s are built like military tanks, and just keep on > keepin' on. Indeed. The fuser was the first part to go, and even then you could expect 10+ years before your first real service event. Sometimes a pickup roller would need replacing, but even those were rare. Compare to the 4xxx series that replaced the LJ5, the fusers are made of a different material that flakes off easily and damages other parts in the printer. Not that I have any pent up hatred for that line of printers. Grrr.. Brian
