Build Your Own PostScript Laser Printer and Save a Bundle

This book does for laser printers what Aubrey Pilgrim's popular "Build Your Own..." series has done for IBM compatible computers. Now anyone with basic computer or electronic skills can assemble a laser printer at a fraction of the cost of commercially-sold models. Here, LaBadie explains how to build a laser printer from scratch or convert a stock Canon CX or SX laser engine to full PostScript capabilities. Along the way, readers get a thorough education in laser printer technology, including how they work and what components are required. LaBadie provides straightforward, illustrated instructions that guide readers carefully through each step, warning of possible pitfalls and describing how to troubleshoot and remedy common problems that may arise during the conversion. Also included are numerous examples of PostScript output.
