I have an ancient HP Color Laserjet ...
it has just thrown up a fuser error

Should be a bog standard part throughout the world. They just swap power
supplies for each market.

The fuser heater is directly driven by AC; it will be a 230V lamp-like unit and possibly
driven by a different switch (relay, or triac) than used in other countries. I'd look for a relay
and think about how to clean it and burnish the contacts, and clean connectors, first.
Fuser heaters used to be common, inexpensive replacement items (on
LaserJet 4 machines, about $15 US). The whole fuser didn't
need to be replaced to swap out the heater.
