Re: thermal printer HP Message #3 Posted by Tony Duell on 29 Oct 2005, 6:25 a.m., in response to message #2 by Doug Wilder
I have taken the 82162 apart (there's a schematic on the HPCC CD-ROM, and on the web IIRC), I've never had to repair one.
To remove those flexiprints (also used in the Topcats), I find a couple of HP41-size magnetic cards slipped under the contacts will do it. The correct tool, I believe, was a thin metal blade, I have thought about trimming down one of the stainless steel plastering tools from the local DIY shop. If I do that, I'll let you know how I get on.
What is the the problem with your printer? I can give you some initial tests to do. I would be happy to look at it if you can get it to an HPCC meeting in London (that is Europe, but probably not a lot of use for you ;-)).
