Printer Repair Recommendations Appreciated Please

[JimiSayo]

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 have had good experiences with http://atlanticfieldmaintenance.co.uk based in Forest Hill. They came to me and for a reasonable price.

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.
