@NJRoadfan I have one of those!
I plan to install it once I get this printer going. I got it from another user on here, but I can't recall who. I've had it for about 3 or 4 years now, and this is the first time an affordable LaserWriter showed up. I have to give huge props to
@adb9001, he pointed me to the Craigslist ad about 20 minutes after it had been posted. So I was the first one.
This particular printer is actually more snow-white than beige. It looks like it'd match a //c better than a Macintosh, if it weren't for its curvy Macintosh profile. Looks like a pealed potato. :lol: I've never seen one in person other than back in Junior High, and I don't remember the color. It's physically in fantastic condition. Just a tiny bit of yellowing on one side, and you can't notice it in the bright light (only under dim fluorescent.) Very clean inside, too.
So I turned it on and powers up with no errors, save for missing paper tray. I fed a single sheet through the manual feed, and it sucked it right in and spit it out the other side without jamming. So that's good.
Unfortunately the unmistakable smell of melting plastic emanated from the machine. Even though it completed the "print," it indicated a jam. So I opened it up (nicely designed, easy access), and I saw the foam on the cartridge (or fuser? Not sure ... I should read the service source) had completely disintegrated, and some of the foam went loopty loop around the fuser, then melted onto the paper. I gave it a once over, but I didn't notice the disintegrated foam. [
!] I hope I didn't ruin the fuser.
It's definitely going to need a toner cartridge. I hope I can source a more recent Canon cartridge.
I'm gonna give it an additional clean, apply some rubber rejuvenation spray on all the rollers and pads, etc.
