Printer Repair Recommendations Appreciated Please

Recommended Posts

Hello


I have a Samsung CLX-3175 colour laser printer which isn't feeding sheets. It also gets intermittent paper jam events but lately, the paper won't even feed.


Can anyone recommend a printer repair service? It pains me that typically, the cost of repairs of electrical goods is such that buying brand new makes more sense.


Hoping someone here's has had a good experience with someone that repairs printers. Many thanks!

Hi


Just adding my voice to this request as I have the same problem; a Samsung CLX6200 that needs a service; it's making the paper all crinkly as it goes through.


I found www.equinox.co.uk who will come and service, but cost ?114 for an hour's labour, plus parts on top. Seems a bit steep. Would really approciate a pointer to a local place I can drop it off to be looked at.


Thanks!

I've only just seen this. I managed to cure a non-feeding printer by cleaning the surface of the pinch roller at the start of the paper feed, using isopropyl alcohol on a long cotton bud stick. The roller surface can apparently sometimes get too smooth, so that there's not enough friction.

Sorry, forgot to tick to receive replies to this thread. Thanks for the input!


To be honest, anything over ?50 and I think I'd be wanting to buy a new printer with a new warranty. I shudder at the things we have to consign to landfill when it's more economical to buy than to repair.

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
