pick your model here then on the keyword search drop down, select maintenance kit. it should come with a fuser, transfer roller, pressure roller, and pickup/seperation rollers.

Extremely unlikely his printer has a maintenance kit.

Even $500-700 lasers don't have them.

I just looked it up. it costs 165 directly from them. I used to do this for a living. every HP and lexmark printer I've ever seen have maint. kits.

Most are ASP install only. You don't see user replaceable maintenance kits on consumer level lasers.

I used to do ASP support for corporate HP lasers, some of those even don't have maintenance kits (again, user replaceable).

Also, as I posted before you can replace the entire printer for under $200. A $165 ASP install maintenance kit is pointless.

What does ASP stand for? All of the HP LJ printers I support at work have maintenance kits. Of course they're all 4050's, 4100's, 4200's etc.

Authorized Service Provider. Most of HP's corporate level printers do have user replaceable maintenance kits (the 2200 and possibly the 2300 series being notable exceptions). Then again you're talking about a printer that cost in excess of $1K when new.

HP's consumer level products don't typically have a scheduled maintenance interval (unlike the 200K pages for the 4000/4050/4100/etc.), and the kits are not user replaceable. Color products typically have a set of consumable items that covers what would be part of a monochrome "maintenance kit."

Me. 'Ummm honey, there is a reason why the front of the package says INK JET and not LASER. Now you know Laser printers use heat to melt the plastic in the toner...

Toner is fried it sounds funny and prints the image she sent through it along with what ever else i tell it to print.

Uggg Citrix needs a Xanax.

Tell her that after tonight, you get anal. That's right, no matter how neat you want the house she has to clean it.
