basically you add a temperature controller, a motor, and modify if needed  
to allow thicker boards.

If you search this group's message archive
for "laser fuser" - no quotes -
(rather than the 2 spellings you tried above ;-)
you will find several discussions of mechanical
and electronic aspects of modifying fusers.

Might work in a Google or Google groups search
too, but my attempt was a little disappointing
(too much discussion of laser printers)
so it probably needs some extra terms to
refine the search.

Here's one I Googled earlier (but couldn't
remember where I saved the URL :-)

http://www.storm.ca/~rheslip/pcbfuser.htm
"PCB Fuser for Toner Transfer Artwork"
(salvaged LaserJet printer fuser unit
"it works beautifully on thin (.015") PCB material")
