[LUAU] Laserjet 1000 help -- mechanical, not OSS

[Robert Green]

Since this list bhas the best collection of techies, I'm hoping
somebody might be able to help out....

One of our office laserjet 1000's suddenly began making a loud grinding
noise today. Based on the sound, it seems like it is coming from the
righthand side where the gears on the fuser roller interface with the
gears in the toner cartridge. The fuser roller appears to be spring
loaded, so I am guessing there is some wear on these gears. I tried
another toner cartridge from another LJ 1000 in the office and get the
same grinding noise.

Are repair parts available for this? I'm fairly handy with my hands and
can probably handle it if it isn't going to be some sring-loaded
explosion of parts all over the workbench if I don't recite some secret
HP voodoo chant =-), but I might need some general instructions to get
over the hump...
