I've had an ImageWriter and an ImageWriter II and I was very happy with
them.  They performed reliably, and could run fifty pages unattended.  I never
had very long documents to print, but I didn't adjust any between uses.  The
only problem I EVER had was when the paper would become warped and would wrap
around the platten, but that was easily avoided.

I really appreciated my printer when I had to work in an IBM PC lab and
the I spent most of my time fixing jammed IBM Printers.  I am sorry you are
having such troubles, but my experiences have been nothing but good with the
ImageWriters.
