HP 1300 problem

The non-profit organization I work with has an HP1300 that has been
diagnosed (by a printer repair shop) as having a damaged heat fuser roller.
An new one is $200 plus labor for replacement. Is there a way for us to
repair this at a substantially lower price. I am sure we would need a good
repair manual showing how to dismantle and re-assemble the printer, as well
as find a much lower cost for the roller.

Thank You,

Gordo

Sounds like the price you have been quoted is for a complete fuser assembly
(Not sure what dollars you are quoting US$ ???).
You can get a service manual from
http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/reference/manuals/public/hp look for laserjet
1150/1300 service.manual. You will need to register first (no charge).
Then google for a local supplier of the part, you can buy a complete fuser
(110v or 220v depending on your local voltage) or just the roller (more work
involved - see the service manual for procedure). Go to
http://www.partsmart-corp.com/showpartformodel.asp?model=HP1200 for a list of
parts and one possible supplier.
Good luck

Precisionroller.com might give you an indication. I recently had both
fuser rollers replaced on my machine and gave that website a quick
perusal to see if the price I was quoted was sensible (which it was).
This is a Canon machine and it wasn't the official Canon servicers.
