Hi Hello Phill****
** ** Your e-mail arrangements seem very complicated!**** ** ** Best guess on when the two bits of kit will be unavoidable for replacing is after another 350 pages or so (if 1 page is duplexed 2*A5 and colour – if you don’t do all pages that way, then multiply up by 4, or even by 8 if single sided and black).**** ** ** Imaging unit - there’s one on eBay for £30 at the moment, but from Xerox’s site £150 would seem more usual. http://www.office.xerox.com/printers/color-printers/phaser-6100/supl-enus.html **** Transfer belt – there’s one on eBay for £20 at the moment, but from Xerox’s site £120 would seem more usual.**** ** ** The eBay offers are “seller refurbished” (whatever that means), and have just over 3 days to run and may involve P&P on top.**** ** ** Simon On 10 February 2012 10:04, James Tait <james.t...@wyrddreams.org> wrote: > Hi Phill, > > On 10/02/12 00:47, Phill Whiteside wrote: > >> It will need them. >> > > OK. > > > I know there is a linux CUPS driver for it. >> > > Which was the question I realised I hadn't asked immediately upon sending > the mail! :) > > > The guy >> "selling" it, is a good friend of mine.
