I bought an old Phaser 350 and am trying to see if it will work. I can't find info in the manual or anywhere else on how long the initialization phase should last, mine has been going for over an hour and a half now; making whirring noises every now and then and such.
1. Should I assume it is "stuck" although I have gotten no error messages. I hate to turn the thing off again, because the ink is low and I am going to spend a lot of money sticking ink in this thing if I keep turning it off; it might just be a gonner and buying ink would be a waste. (It seems a poor design that it sucks up so much ink just to start, with no way to skip this step to simply verify the printer's status - whether its DOA - without using up a lot of expensive ink).
2. There was discussion last month about a heater lamp that could go bad but it wasn't clear to me exactly where to look for this lamp (right side was all it said)Do you have to remove something to see it?
