HP IIP Incomplete page print

[John]

My friend has an old HP IIP that has begun giving her problems. It begins to
print a page but then stops. I suspect a bad fuser assembly, but what do I
know? Chances are a refurbished fuser assembly will be hard to find and more
expensive than it's worth.

Trying to interest her in a new laser printer. I know there are several
"low" price laser printers available from HP, Brother, and Samsung. Can
anyone tell me which ones are best of this lot and which ones to avoid?

Thanks so much.

John

HP IIP

1. Picks up paper with Roller
2. Goes through Registration Assy
3. Goes through Toner
4. Goes through Fuser
5. Goes through output area

If it's just missing prints, you probably have a bad toner or a bad Laser
Assy.

Considering the age of the printer, it might be less of a headache to just
buy a new home user laser printer. Lexmark usually has their low end for a
very reasonable price. Although I'm certain you could find a replacement if
you look for it. Check Ebay, you might be able to get a whole HP IIP cheaper
than a new part.

If the paper stops midway up the toner cartridge, it's probably the
'drum drive gear'. The gear is cracked. They're usually under $10,
but the service cost might not be worth it. Take the right cover off,
check on that side near the front...you'll see the gear assembly,
probably with a slight crack from the middle extending out.
