[comp.periphs.printers] Recall on LaserJet IIP printers

dplatt@coherent.com (Dave Platt) (09/27/90)

I just received a call from HP concerning a DeskJet I had sent in for an
upgrade.  The woman calling from HP asked if I use any LaserJet IIP
printers, or knew anyone who did (the answer to both is "no").

The reason she asked, is that HP has announced a recall on certain
LaserJet IIP printers, due to a problem of some sort with the power
supply.  Printers affected by this recall have a model number of 33417B,
and have serial numbers which fall into the range 2925-2950.

Anyone who has one of these printers, or who wishes to get further
information about this recall, is asked to call Hewlett-Packard at the
toll-free number 800-233-5153.  [This number may not work from outside
the U.S.;  non-U.S. users should probably contact their local HP dealers
for information about this recall]

There IS NOT A RECALL on LaserJET IIP's.  That is a incorrect statement.

There has been a Service Note issued on the _33471A_ printer.   
(Please note the CORRECT model number.)

This service note addresses the fact that the power supply for the printer
has been redesigned to correct a possible shock hazard.

If you have any questions about your particular printer, please call
the LaserJet Hotline or talk with your dealer.  

This service note was issued to correct any _possible_ problem.



--My opinions are my own.  HP does pay my salary, but I no longer support
LaserJet's....so, my comments do not necessarilly represent those views of
my employer.
