Printer Repair Recommendations Appreciated Please

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.

    • Have used Milk and More for years. When the price went up we cancelled a couple of pints but we still have 8 pints a week. If we are expecting family etc we buy from Sainsburys to top up. We kept on with M & M as if weather bad we could order extra stuff from them to save us a trip to Sainsburys Local. Also gives employment to our milkman.
    • Hi there, Our Lexus NX300H, (reg RF18BWO) was stolen off our driveway last night, Monday 27th October. It was there at 9pm, and had gone by 7am. If anyone has any footage on their doorbell or Ring, that would be super helpful. We have asked some neighbours and reported to the police etc.  Most upsettingly, there was a box of old family videos in the car boot, in an old Sainsburys box (photo attached). If anyone sees these dumped at the side of the road, please contact me asap! They are priceless videos that my deceased grandparents took. Thank you for any info, Jojo  
    • Another shout out for Milk & More - their app allows you to alter the order, add or subtract to it and also to schedule holiday stops without having to leave messages in bottle - so more secure. You do have to set up a direct debit with them, but I haven't had any problems with that myself. I have had one or two missed or late deliveries in several years, but not really a problem - only very occasional and caused mainly by delivery-person illness. And very much feels like an old-fashioned milk delivery. They do special seasonal offers as well. More expensive than the cheapest of the super market milk prices, but for that its at your door, fresh and no bother.
    • Enjoying the nostalgia and memories.  As with others, we get ours through Milk and More (is part of big co, so there is that against it, but it's hardly a secret/niche thing) - returnable glass bottles of milk, orange juice, yoghurt, and much more besides (as per the name). And yes it comes in the middle of the night in an electric vehicle. So can still get out nostalgia fix, doubled when the Riverford chap comes too.
