[Noisebridge-discuss] Soft Circuit Printer - Set your Phazers on Fun!

[joel jaeggli]

I have a phaser 8550n in the office... They're not that picky about 
paper. The observations about the wax/consumables are valid and if the 
consumables are old it may well require an extensive cleaning, the 
maintenace roller might require replacement.

I'm not a bing fan of printers of uncertain provenance or or printers in 
general for that matter but these things do the business.
