You guys are awesome. I'll try all this tonight.
One last thing... Any way to stop the classic laser printer light
dimming pronlem? It makes the lights in my computer room flicker.
YEs, sort out your mains wiring before something catches fire...
A clssic lasr printer cotnains a fairly powerful tungsten halogen bulb to
heat the fuser roller. This turns on and off to keep the fuser at the
right temperatuire. The rest of the laser printer is quite low power,
actually.
My guess is that the lamps dim when the fuser heater turns on. In whih
case there ais a main votlage drop somewhere. Possibly a bad connection
or dodgy wiring. Check it!.
