If I remember correctly, the HP laser is built around a Canon
unit; the Apple LaserWriter uses the same Canon unit.

   | about six months ago when changing the fuser roller cleaning wand, I
   | noticed that what appears to be a (non-stick?) plastic coating on the
   | roller had gotten a scratch all the way around its circumference in one
   | place.
We've had the same on one of our Apple laserwriters: the coating (Teflon ?)
was ripped off by one of the scrapers at the far outside. This happened
after appr. 200.000 copies.

   | assembly (part No. RG1-039-00CN).  I was told that we must buy the
   | whole assembly and we couldn't buy just the roller.
We had our LaserWriter repaired: the engineer replaced the fusing assembly,
but told us that it **is** possible to replace only the roller. Replacing
the entire assembly is very easy to do (took about 10 minutes, including
cleaning); he said replacing only the roller requires a fine two hours work
(and keeping the engineer fee per hour in mond, it is probably not worth
trying). If you manage to do it by yourself, the hardest thing to do is
probably to order just the roller :-)


				good luck,
