Samsung Laser Printer

I bought a Samsung laser printer just over a year ago, and recently it’s been playing up. Send a print job, lights all flash, but the paper won’t be drawn. I checked out a forum going by the name of Laser Printer Repairs and someone mentioned wear and tear on the paper roller in another laser printer, which I thought offered a nice clue. A quick clean of the roller in my Samsung with a handful of Q-tips and some acetone (nail polish remover) removed the nasty deposit of black toner that had accumulated on the rubber (and everywhere else), and the printer was back to fully functional with a few minutes!

Who said modern laser printers were disposable goods? Now, how do I get that dead iPod battery to work without paying Apples’ $270 fee?
