Wasn't sure where to put this thread but anyway....
I got a new printer to replace my aging Laserjet 5L which can't even pull paper down the tray properly anymore. The new one I purchased today is a HP Laserjet P1005 for $85 which is very cheap for a laser printer, but I am happy with it.
Um. it works, but there is one problem....
Everytime I print something I see smoke coming out along with the paper it has just printed. The smoke is a grey white and doesn't smell like burning electronics, but a funky shallow smell. It probably isn't a good thing to do in smelling this gas, but hey I'm okay for now.
I don't know if this has anything to do with my mistake of not removing some plastic protector bits over the toner roller and electric connectors to the printer board before stating it up for the first time, then printing only to find nothing came out!.... do you guys think that did any damage?
But still I want to know what that white/grey smoke is.... but one good thing is that it is printing papers really well so that's a start I suppose.
Thanks.
