I expect too. What i wonder is if "fuser oil" is beeing a problem with
some printers.
The felt "wiper" on the upper fuser roller is applying fuser oil in some
models (silicone oil).
I guess that would thwart any attemt to transfer the toner.
With new HP toner came a wiper once that seemed to contain the oil, so i
haven't changed it. The wiper in the Lexmark was new and seemed dry.
Fuser oil is one of the things i still wonder about.
By the way, while at printers, the quartz lamp in a fuser seems to be the
same as the "halogene lamp" in floodlights, true? would that be a cheap
replacement? Just wondering, 'cause they seem overly expensive at printer
spare parts shops...
