If the printers fault falls squarely into one of some classes of defined faults, there are kits available with instructions (video or MPEG) that work (http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/) - but they all cost more than you paid for the printer.
Personally I have had no luck at all in getting proper diagrams and procedures to get into my apple personal laserwriter ntr - kits are problematic in my case because I seem to have faults that straddle the symptoms. I have had 3 old lasers and none has given me any real value (though the last which I paid more serious money for worked wonderfully for a pack of paper or two and spoilt me re quality. Lasers are very good!). I write to inform you but also to try to jog anyone to help with specific references to where one can get good diagrams and text to encourage one to pull one apart with some confidence. I have failed to get this in spite of some effort - on any list or site or email. It is too awful to throw something out that showed so much promise. And I like pulling things to bits. Good luck on yours, note the specific symptoms and go to the site mentioned above. > Date: Sun, 22 Jun 2003 19:00:48 -0400 > Subject: Laserwriter II on a 8600 > From: Kevin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > I am having some problems with a Laserwriter I installed on my 8600.
