Hello!
I have searched the archives already, but only found a reference to a possible power supply capacitor failure that might cause printing problems in an hp-46. If this is not the cause with my units (I will check it tonight), what other problems/solutions are known?
In my case, I have two otherwise fully working hp-46 calculators, both with the LED display option, that share the same printing malfunction: The paper advance only works sporadically, if at all. From the outside I suspect a worn drive roller or belt or non-engaging clutch. The working principle of the paper advance mechanism can only be guessed without disassembling the printer and I am a bit reluctant to do so, especially if there are no spare parts anyway...
Greetings, Max
NB: Sooner or later, because they take up too much space (says my wife) I will have to part with one of them - so if anyone is interested, watch the classifieds section! (I prefer trading to selling and could throw in a nice 41CX as well)
