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...
