[PLUG] OT: cleaning a laserjet 5

[Mike De La Mater]

There are laser cleaning sheets at your local office supply. They're not cheap, 
but they will clean up loose cruftage floating around in your laser, then fuse 
them onto the sheet.

I've never had much luck with them cleaning up an error that shows up for more 
than an eight of an inch long, it might be a fuser....
