You can buy the paper out assembly for an HP 4M, strip out its rollers and fit them in your LaserWriter. The Apple part is no longer available, at least in the UK. The plastics are different on the HP part, but the rollers the same. >>
True, but the rollers alone are available from The Printer Works. >> Another alternative is is to strip the assembly, clean the rollers with isopropyl alcohol, then slightly retension the springs, this gives them a new lease of life. If you swap parts from another defective printer you could easily be moving over parts with the same problem, or about to fail. This is the most common problem with this laser. >> Rubber restoration products are occasionally helpful. The best place to find these is at an electronics store which caters to high-end audio. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
