Used parts, any good use for them?

Archiver

I got my hands on a couple of used laser printers (work, except they think
they are out of paper, when they really are not).

Anything I can scavenge out of them for use with a stamp?

There are obviously some motors of some sort, not sure of the voltage yet,
as I haven't taken the cover off yet.

Just curious, I'm kind of between projects, and thought someone may have a
good idea.


Thanks in advance,


John

I'd try to replace the paper sensors and use at least one of them as a
laser printer.

I actually have 2 that don't work at all, and 2 that need new paper
sensors. I agree, one of them will get the paper sensor by-passed at the
very least. I'm guessing the 2 that work, won't work for long. I bought
all 4 of them at the same time, and 2 have died already, I bet the others
are right behind them.

Thanks,

John
