Does it matter? They all certainly have the same print engine right?


No, they don't.

Ah ok so a 5/5n/5blaha have different engines. Gotcha.


Looks to me like the laser guts are dirty and the optics need cleaned.


One of several possibilities. That's like claiming every defective
piece of electronic equipment only needs to be plugged in.

Yeah pretty stupid that alll the 5x printers I've worked needed just a
cleaning. I'm sure you've worked on tens of thousands of the ****ers
hell you probably designed and built them yourself right?


**** off. Oh, wait! You're always ****ed pff.

Actually he's been ****ed on more than ****ed off...


That's more than we need to know.

He presents himself as an expert, then screams when someone points
out an error. No, I haven't done tens of thousands of laser printer
repairs. The total is close to 100, but I am working on older printers
no one else will touch around here. I currently have about 15 laser
printers waiting to hit the bench, and about 150-160 inkjets and a
couple dot matrix. I repair them, just for the hell of it. I do look at
all the models with similar numbers so i am familiar with them. I have
a database of what is waiting for repair and like to have at least three
similar units so I can be a little more efficient. Then I can scrap any
not worth repairing and sort out the good parts.

I was put on 100% VA disability a few years ago, but I need a hobby
to keep my sanity so I don't start posting like Meat Plow.
