Hi all,

I recently picked up a little HP Laserjet 5L from Freecycle and whilst
it did actually print the printout was about as dirty as the printer
itself (inside more than out).

Anyroadup, with no more than my trusty Philips No2 screwdriver I took
it to bits, cleaned it out and put it back together again. ;-)

The nice thing was it was obviously /designed/ to be serviced as many
of the parts simply clipped out and in, gears clipped onto shafts etc.

It reminded me a bit of my time with Kodak on microfilm and fiche
machines.

The next experiment might be to service / refill a toner cartridge.

Cheers, T i m
