- Where is a good place to buy an Apple Laserwriter II printer? We have
- one that came from one of our European offices that runs on 220v. I
- took it to the shop, and after about a month of ordering parts the
- repair bill will be $1700 to convert it to 110v. We could buy a new
- printer at a local shop for about $2400, that would have a warranty.
-
- Does anybody have suggestions for a vendor that would sell one for
- less? I looked in Computer Shopper, and most of the printers there
- are for PC's. I heard that HP made some Apple compatible printers,
- but what model is it?
-
- If anyone knows a repair place that would convert it cheaper than
- $1700 at our local shop, let me know. Also, if anyone is interested
- in buying the 220v printer, send me email. I don't know if it works
- now, but it did before they shipped it. We only have 110v, so there
- is no way to plug it in and test it. I will have to ask the boss
- before we sell can sell it. It will probably be cheap and 'as is'.
-
- One note, they also sent us a Mac IIx and an Apple Scanner with the
- printer. The Mac IIx is autoconfiguring. You just plug it in, and
- it automatically switches from 110v to 220v with out doing anything.
- The Scanner had a dial with different voltages you could select.
-
- I don't regularly subscribe to the Mac newsgroups. Please send me
- email, if you have any information that could help.

- Thanks, syspb@smartstar.com
