How can I convert a laser fax machine into a laser printer?

[thaugen]

I inherited a Canon laser fax machine, and would like to use it as a laser printer. The extent of my knowledge is to look on the back for a PC connection (there is none.) I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question.

Use a fax/modem to fax to yourself?

Or just open it up and see of there is some sort of concealed interface on the motherboard of the machine..

Isn't there a parallell port on the fax machine? That is quite common.

That's a classic. Good thinking.

I think he's going to need a shark and a roll of duct tape to get the laser on his head.

the thing that springs to mind is those software fax programs...I dunno, just a thought.

Hunt down documentation / RTFM.

My bet would be "sending" it to yourself. You don't need to use the local POTS, though. I personally would see what you have for interfaces, though, first. Post some pictures? Or maybe link to some documentation.
