Yup, common issue, I and
@ScutBoy have gone through this. It's not only the green capacitor, there is also a tall black one too. Both leak. If you don't feel comfortable doing that, there are new ones sold, let me find the older threads for you and I'll edit this.
Also, if you have any issues with it grabbing paper, you will need a new pickup roller. If it's brand new, all the other rollers should be fine. If you plan on actually using it, you will need a new toner drum blade. They don't make them any more, so on the 99 percent chance you see streaking on the printed page, you will need to hack a new blade in, let me know if you need help or get to that point.
Since it's new, make sure all the packing plastic is removed inside, it should be listed in the manual.

There are two fans inside, one under the top cover above the ac power block, and one under the bottom cover. Both need to be oiled. The printer should be relatively quiet with quiet fan noise.
Here are some good threads on most of this stuff.

I have a Laserwriter IIntx on the way, and a Personal Laserwriter NT, and was wondering how I could connect these to a modern network? Do you need a bridge at all times? I know about the localtalk to ethernet adapters, but even then, the printer only talks in AppleTalk. Is there something a...

Only creating a separate thread for this so it is easier to find for future reference, and this applies to all old printers. Does anyone here have a trick to replacing the wiper blades inside toner cartridges? The one for my LaserWriter II is totally shot, it cracked and is crumbling away after...

There are a few springs by the paper tray area inside. Once you have the top cover off, I'm sure you will find where it goes.
