HP IIISi: "50 SERVICE"

Back in June (2008), I wrote about my HP IIISi laser printer complaining "50 SERVICE". Everyone agreed it was some sort of fuser-related problem: heating element failed, driving circuit blown, temperature sensor shot, something of that ilk. Today I finally collected the round tuits to check it out - and yes, the fuser "lamp" has failed open-circuit. Fortunately, a month or two back I spoke with an printer repair tech who came to service a printer at work; he gave me contact info for the place he gets replacements for such things, so I'm set in that respect. Just thought I'd report on the status. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
