Fixing Heater for HP 5L

[Chris]

My fuser just died in my LaserJet 5L printer. The film is fine but the
heater strip is cracked. It looks to me like the fixing assembly is only
available as a unit. Does anyone know where I might find a used fixing
assembly at a reasonable price - possibly one that was removed because of a
bad film? I really need this printer for resumes.

Thanks,
Chris

Thanks but that link is for the film only. I need the heater only.

I had the fuser replaced in my 5L and it seemed that the heater is the
foil which is part of a Teflon / foil sandwitch.
