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.

    • My car was stolen a few months back from my driveway but I had a tracker and found it in a private car park in Lavender Hill close to the police station. I was lucky. The thieves hide it up against that eventuality. High spec cars are targeted I'm afraid. The way it was stolen required the thieves to wire in their own computer accessing a front light (which had had a metal sheet welded across which they prised off). They had searched for a tracker but not found it. They also had to cut away a steering wheel lock. They had to come well tooled up and briefed to do what they did. Beating them off is non trivial. As I said, them not finding my tracker was just lucky. 
    • Been with The Gardens now for around 30 years and very rarely do I have a problem. I went in to collect a form and mentioned that my leg was hurting and hot- was seen immediately by the Practice nurse who then arranged an appointment on the Saturday with the Extra care service at TJ Centre where I saw a doctor, who then sent me off to Kings for further tests.. I recently booked a flu jab but appointment is in 2 weeks. 
    • 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
