   Nope, HP
LaserJet p20somethingorother printer.  Call me amazed :oO I never though that a
Laserjet could develop
 failures like that :o( It is an end to an era! 
Yeah...I have a LaserJet IIISi.  That thing is built like a frickin'
*tank*.  I had a filter cap on one of the logic boards - not in the
power supply - fail; it must have failed shorted or something, because
it had arced enough to eat something like halfway through the board at
that point.  I unsoldered it, cleaned off the area as best I could,
soldered a replacement in place, and it's worked fine ever since -
apparently it didn't take out anything crucial; while it's surely at
least partly luck, I was pretty impressed.
