Has anyone noticed a correlation between installing laser-printers in a
computer room and disk drive problems? It has been suggested here that toner
from the recently installed laser printer is wafting through to the
absolute filters in the disk drives, plugging them and (possibly)
causing head/disc problems.

I have heard of paper chaff plugging filters before, but not laser printer
toner. Has anyone out there noticed any such phenomena, or are we
speculating in the wind?
