In a review article of HP LaserJet printer in Sept. issue of Microcomputing,
the author, whose name I can't recall, mentioned that LaserJet "stinks".  The
explanation given by the author was that the toner gave out an odor when
heated.  He also stated that HP actually suggested that the printer be placed
in a well ventilated space during operation.

Now we know that the Canon LBP-CX printing engine uses a dry toner system, and
we also know that dry toner systems are less likely to give off offensive
odors or fumes.  And to the best of my knowledge, nobody has ever mentioned
that LBP-CX smells either on this list or on other magazines.  Was the
reviewer having an ultra sensitve nose?  Or was he just telling the truth that
so many of the reviewers have ignored?

If it does smell, somebody in Canon should be kicked.
