Also fortunately, it's a common-as-dirt value (220?F 35V), though since
it appears to be a power decoupling cap, the exact value is probably
not critical.

Hi
It looks like you found the problem. I wonder if this was
one of those caps that were made with the stolen formula
for the electrolyte. I would guess that replacing the
cap should put it back in working order. Do clean the
board of the material that comes out of the cap. It isn't
highly corrosive but it will cause damage over time.
Even though you don't see a great need for a duplexer,
they are quite cheap on ebay. HP wanted soemthing like
$450 for these. I payed $15 plus shipping. The envelope
feeder was about the same.
The local Staples store ( a local office supply company )
was getting rid of old obsolete toners. I bought two HP
toner assemblies for $25 each. This is the cheapest I've
ever seem them. I've seen other manufactures for around
$60 each.

I couldn't say. :)

I've now removed the cap. In case it helps settle speculation about
that stolen formula, it's marked "nichicon", "220?F 35V",
"PR(M)",
"105?C", and "H9117". My guess is that "nichicon" is a
brand name.

I had to
replace the fuser on [my IIISi] because [...]
Hmm, I use mine in the exact same
manner, does this mean I'm
mistreating the fuser? Ethan Dicks <dickset(a)amanda.spole.gov> wrote:
Perhaps, but that isn't really necessary in my experience; when I print
envelopes, I let the printer think I'm doing 8.5"x11" and just feed the
envelope into it instead of an ordinary page - and make certain the
code does not try to put any marks anywhere outside the part of the
page that actually falls on the envelope.

Working out the raw Postscript to define the
bizarre page size was
the hardest part [of making some envelopes work].
Isn't the print engine
fundamentally limited to its fixed set of
paper sizes?

Someone was talking abotu the fuser lamp burning out.
That is not what
happened to mine; it continued to work as a fuser, but produced ghosts
on the page, as if it picked up some of the toner from the page and
deposited it down next revolution, a few inches further down the page.
This normally means you need to change the upper roller (the one with the
lamp down the middle). The roller is a lot cheaper than a complete fuser,
and it's not that hard to fit (at least not on the CX or SX).
