I would not use it unless you absolutly have to -- if
you have a misbeaving
rubber part thats unavailable or too expensive...
The sad story for really just about all old printers is that the most
minimal of real repair or parts, and they are junk not worth fixing.
However if they can be coaxed into another 15% of their normal life, then
often in a home setting that works out to years of service.
BTW anybody else mutter/think to themselves more than once a day, "this is
insane" and keep on doing it?
