I've owned two in my life one old ass txt only HP and a fairly current magicolor 2300
I recently refilled my 4 toner carts and seem to have fuser problems
the image belt deal is showing a proper clean image but once it hits the paper spews the page out and all I'm stuck with a faint mix of each color and a shitload of wasted toner scraped 'n pushed into it's waste container
I figure it's the heating drum that fuses it all to the paper before doing a clean scrape and toss to the waste bin
any laser printer guru's with any ideas? I have the service manual and am able to gut the thing if need be DIY style but I'd like some advice from folks who have worked with more than 2 and understand it's process dispite the brand or model
I'm guessing it's the fuse drum's lamp thats failing but I can't afford a replacement off shelf so if anyone has any ideas as to what may work in it's place from say homedepot HID lamps ect I'm all ears
