2.0 out of 5 stars
OK for laser theory, NOT for printer repair,
By Phil Lee (Minneapolis, Minn, Silicon Tundra, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Easy Laser Printer Maintenance and Repair (Paperback)
This book is for understanding on how the laser printer works. Unfortunately a printer is very complicated mechanically and taking them apart is very tricky. This book is not practical. It doesn't emphasize typical mechanical and electrical assemblies that need repair and replacement due to wear and tear. Such as paper pickup rollers, fuser lamps, maint kits etc. It also doesn't have any disassembly procedures and exploded diagrams that will help you. There is no discussion on important printer options, such as ethernet print servers, PostScript, duplexers, power envelope feeders. I highly recommend getting a printer service manual for your specific model instead, for example a HP single model Service manual. They are often on eBay auctions and printerworks.com .

3.0 out of 5 stars
Not a guide for practical laser printer repair,
By A Customer
This review is from: Easy Laser Printer Maintenance and Repair (Paperback)
Do not buy "Easy Laser Printer Maintenance and Repair" if you need a guide for quick access to laser printer components for their repair or replacement. The book is unnecessarily heavy in laser printer theory, soldering and test instruments, etc. -- information that is unnecessary for most technically savvy people. It may be, as one reviewer has suggested, a good text book for repair person certification. Example: while it identifies the high-voltage power supply as a common cause of failure and advises its replacement under readily identified symptoms, not one photo or verbal description tells you where this component is actually located on HP or Epson laser printers, or how to extract and replace it.

This is a textbook, not a repair manua!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Easy Laser Printer Maintenance and Repair (Paperback)
"Easy Laser Printer Maintenance and Repair" started out as a textbook on electrophotographic technology. The title was obviously composed by the publisher's marketing staff. It is NOT a practical repair manual!
