[rescue] LaserJet 5P Fuser problem

[Curtis H. Wilbar Jr.]

On ePay, www.ezcopiers.com seller has fuser units for these for $95.99
and you get $20 back when you send in your old fuser.... so that is
only $75.99 for a rebuilt fuser... better....

>Hey everyone... I'm trying to "rescue" this LaserJet 5P.  He's in pretty good

>lights up all LEDs (except the bottom "Ready" light) and sits there.  Holding

>Research thus far says that it's a 50 error, which means the fuser didn't hit

>Has anyone had this problem themselves and/or been able to fix it?  Fusers are
