View Full Version : Apple Laserwriter II won't print

I have four blinking lights on my sweet old (usually) dependable Apple Laserwriter II and it will not print. It worked fine until about a week ago.

When I try to print a test page from my computer, I get a message saying "The printer is fixing a temperature malfunction" (but, of course, it does not fix the malfunction and the lights continue to blink).

Powering down the printer and restarting does not make the problem go away.

I have pulled the Fuser; The resistance on the contacts on the right is 3.8 ohms with a reading of zero ohms on the #3 and #4 pins of the left contacts.

I installed a Pickup Jam Repair Kit two years ago; a paper jam is not the problem.

Could this be a bad SX Fuser, AC Power Module, or something else?

Thanks!

Does the printer come READY?
Put your hand by the fuser and feel if it's warm.
If it's not getting hot replace it.
While you're spending monies replace the rollers. Even though they are only 2 years old, in dog years they are ancient.

My Fuser becomes only slightly warm to the touch, definitely not hot. I'll plan on buying a new Fuser assembly.

Thanks for your help.
