Hi Makers!

Good news! At long last, the printer is fixed! Well better than fixed…

I tried to fix the old printer, spent hours on it- it was hopeless and made tons of bad noises and ate the paper instead of printing on it! ☹

There is so much surplus office equipment in the world there is no reason to spend that much time and money on one particular machine… so with some clever ebay hunting we now have a new to us surplus colour laser jet printer!

It does all the old one does and more and is cheaper to run!

It works  
It prints  
It scans  
It copies  
It’s amazing!

Tool page coming soon… it it on the network and ready to print- enjoy!

Excellent! Huge thanks and kudos @asander1!

Now perhaps we can add the two non-working Lexmark color lasers to the disposal list after Sept 30th?

Nice work!

Is there a neat space for it? Looks like it might be too tall for under 3d printers?

Yea, 2 reasons to not put it there!

1. The old one was so full of dust from being on the ground that probably didn’t help with it’s longevity

2. The new one has a scanner / copier on top, so while it may fit, you wouldn’t be able to open it…

Right now its out on the office stuff bookcase, which is ok, I am thinking of organising a ‘clean the clean-space’ where maybe we rearrange…

It would also be good between the door and bathroom which is a traditional junk spot!

Hi all!

I have updated the printer tool page to refer to the new printer:

> [@Colour Laser Printer / Scanner - Canon imageRUNNER C1325iF](https://discourse.southlondonmakerspace.org/t/colour-laser-printer-scanner-canon-imagerunner-c1325if/2299):
>
> Printer IP address has changed The IP address has changed because it kept being handed out by the DHCP to Wi-Fi users. It would be safer to use: “printer.space.southlondonmakerspace.org” so we can update the IP in future without breaking things. Details A4 Print, copy, colour scan and send functionality Colour and B&W output at 25 ppm Mobile printing and scanning support 8.9 cm touch and swipe colour LCD display Canon imageRUNNER C1325iF - Colour A4 Laser Multifunctional Condit…

Also other than actually working, and added scanning capabilities, this is why it is a good value to the space/members:
