When overworked printers break down, it is often assumed that the problem is a major mechanical failure that requires professional attention. This book shows how most common printer problems can be corrected quickly and easily by the user with only a few basic tools. It also shows how a regular maintenance programme (cleaning, lubrication and adjustment) can prevent the problems from arising in the first place. Wheel-type, dot-matrix, thermal, ink-jet and laser printers are all covered.
