Laser Printer producing smoke

[Peon]

Hey, laser printers producing smoke is normal, so much so you need to open the windows or leave the room. "No thats normal"

So incredulous I had to share this.

I presume it is an earlier HP model? It is not smoke, but steam.

I have only previously noticed it with older HP, Brother and Oki laser printers.

Return it.

Try fresh paper straight out of a ream wrapper. Paper absorbs moisture so it could be steam.

Libs: I did, they tell me its normal. This is the whole point.

NOTE: A product with any smoking parts does not function.

I would never have guessed!!

That is not normal. return it and ask them to prove its normal... open a new until and show you it does the same thing.

Magic smoke... it makes all electronics work. Once the smoke is let out, it can't be put back in...
