Printer Woes

Friday, I spent most of my day working on various printers. I'm convinced that the biggest problem with computers is the devices responsible for conversion from analog to digital. Printers and scanners; mice, keyboards (HIDs) are okay... but scanners and printers always seem to be troublesome.

I had one printer that had a report of having "black streaks."

Found nothing major wrong, accept the rollers were worn a bit.

Another printer was out putting black dots along one side. It was a problem with the drum, which I tried to clean off a bit, which minimized the black dots, but suggested be replaced anyway.

Finally a fax had white streaks. Dead fuser.

These devices are incredibly annoying. Especially the ones that are used rather frequently.
