I called around because it's an amazing printer and worth around 5 Grand. Most places wanted $100 for a service call, then a 2 hour minimum charge plus the cost of the part. All in all, I'd have spent close to $500 to get the thing fixed. 
McDuck Enterprises to the rescue! 
I found a place that sold the black laser scanner...remanufactured...for $59. I got the repair manual online. Damn if I didn't take out 6 panels and about 30 screws, but I got the damn thing fixed (oh...and got the compressed air hose to clean out mountains of dust too). Saved myself around $450!
You know what kills us in this country? Friggin' labor rates. I can't wait until the Chevy Dealer tells me he wants to charge me $125 for an oil change on the GS. 
Oy Vey! Time to celebrate with a Corned Beef on Rye!  |
WELL THE PRINTER WAS FREE
Do your own oil change
I prefer pastrami on rye
