Does anyone know if there exists a book on the HP Laserjet Series II similar to the "Inside the IBM PC" books. I'm interested in the internals of how the printer works. Thanks Blaine Fischer AT&T Bell Laboratories

Since the machines innards are esesentially inaccessible, unlike the PC, I doubt there is a mass market for such books. If you are truly after the 'inside story' might be better off looking through professional journals and references libraries under the subject, esp optics. If you have just a general interest, PC magazine did an article a while ago which had a basic description of how a laser printer works. I've got an index around here somewhere ... reply if you need to know ? Jeff Sicherman up the net without a .sig
