Tony,
You are probably right. I just want to get the printer running so I can test
and/or repair some cartridges. Thanks go to Dennis from Metro Fuser who
phoned me and gave me the name of a supplier Parts to Go who would sell me
the belt for $3. They have a minimum order of $20 so I have to think of some
other parts I need.
