[Hidden-tech] Printer - fix or replace?

[Annamarie Pluhar]

Hi all,

THANKS for all your good advice. I have indeed used  
"fixyourownprinter" to replace sheet feeds and such. Screws don't  
scare me. (In fact the DVD that came with the sheet feeds was an  
awesome piece of on-line training. Moving pictures that you can stop  
will put technical writers out of business!)
  I've visited the forums there, and see that others have had this  
smudgin problem.

I have wondered about the toner cartridge  - no I haven't filled it,  
but I think this one is a recycled one.  I didn't want to invest if  
in fact there was no hope that the problem might be there. Given that  
a cartridge costs half or a third of a new printer - probably I  
should accept the age of my printer (sniff..sniff..) and let it go.  
I'll check out the recycling.

I do need a network printer - I print lots and lots of text  B&W so  
it's a laser for me. I'll look into the recommendations. Thanks again.
