[QUOTE=ccat;1553305]Thank you, Phil. I read through the rules and FAQ when I joined the forum, and I just reread them when you sent them--though I'm not sure why you are asking me to read them now, unless you are suggesting that I am not following the rules in some way? I am just posting a question entirely in good faith, so please let me know if I am doing something (specific) wrong here. I am a member of a number of technical forums and am used to the general etiquette! [QUOTE]
nothing wrong that I have noticed .. it's just something I recommend to ALL newbies here.
[QUOTE] You didn't ask, but: I have searched the forums already for posts that address this problem, and I did so before my original post. In my first post I referenced a thread from 2014 in which the same problem is addressed but never answered. If there is another thread addressing this problem, I have not been able to find it. Please feel free to point me there [QUOTE]
I don't feel it is my duty to ask too many questions about IF a user has researched their problems as MOST newbies cop a case of the ass when prodded with a plethora of questions. Then they get vile and that is a violation of forum rules.
Also--and this is also a response to M94's friendlier post--I do already have both an owner's manual and a service manual, and have consulted them thoroughly. I have a clear sense of the various possible diagnoses for the problem and am prepared to disassemble things to find the problem myself. I only wanted to ask if any more experienced tech would like to offer any advice.
[QUOTE] Your responses are not patronizing; they just assume the worst about me without asking me any questions. If you don't have the time or inclination to help out, it's no problem at all! There's no need for you to respond any further to this thread solely to warn me away---please feel free to ignore any further posts! [QUOTE]
you just made my point in my previous comment.. you COULD have mentioned that you already have both manuals, that would have relived some of the assumed tensions
If any other community members feel like sharing their expertise with a newcomer, I would be happy to discuss. Otherwise, I will happily enjoy taking my printer apart and trying my best to figure out the problem on my own. Best wishes, Chris
