Hi i just got a StyleWriter when I hook it up to my PowerBook I get an error light flashing on the printer

Any help is appreciated

Thanks in advance

Sounds like paper jammed in there somewhere - see the Service Source manual for green power light on; error light flashing...

I took it apart and found the motor was corroded so bad I can't move it with my hand
Oh well at least I got it for free

I believe most of the Apple printers were Canon or HP machines inside Apple designed frames. This one was based on Canon's 'Bubblejet' print engine, so you might find a replacement motor is possible and relatively cheap, or you can pick up another off ebay and combine the best parts.

Does anyone know if caps go in these printers? I have one that won't turn on. I've had it for 24 years and it hasn't been functional for the past decade.
