Model: Phaser 8550, melt wax jet printer.
No problem with Mageia but with the real world:
Marketing say environmentally friendly because less material in ink container.
Real world:
1) consumed 70 watt average for continuous heating by brainless design of blowing hot air "through" the printer! As extra points that behaviour accumulates dust and heat up room for more AC in summer...
2) an hour heat up if left standby (it had timer to start before office hours IIRC)
3) expensive wax ink and silicone oil drum
4) display after a couple years some days work, some days not.
So dumb design, bad marketing, partly low quality. My first and probably last Xerox.
Why I bought it: the wax printing works on cheap transparent film, so i could easy make prototype cirquit boards. Also the picture photo quality was rather good compared to other methods calulated per sheet.
I still have it on a shelf so if anyone need spare parts or wax...
