This book is for understanding on how the laser printer works. Unfortunately a printer is very complicated mechanically and taking them apart is very tricky. This book is not practical. It doesn't emphasize typical mechanical and electrical assemblies that need repair and replacement due to wear and tear. Such as paper pickup rollers, fuser lamps, maint kits etc. It also doesn't have any disassembly procedures and exploded diagrams that will help you. There is no discussion on important printer options, such as ethernet print servers, PostScript, duplexers, power envelope feeders. I highly recommend getting a printer service manual for your specific model instead, for example a HP single model Service manual. They are often on eBay auctions and printerworks.com .

If this book falls short, what are readers looking for? Something resembling (but better quality than) a Chilton "shop manual" covering repair of printers and possibly recycling of cartridges? Are people looking for good exploded views of various printers, parts and consumables, required voltages and values, etc.? If so, please contact me. If there is some interest, I'll do it.

"Easy Laser Printer Maintenance and Repair" started out as a textbook on electrophotographic technology. The title was obviously composed by the publisher's marketing staff. It is NOT a practical repair manual!
