LaserWriter Select 360: in memoriam

Ex-Lemmingworks. ##.

My dear LaserWriter Select 360 laserprinter just died. We’ve had it for over a decade, and it has done wonderful work for us. It was the first printer we could afford that could do camera ready Japanese, and cost us over $1800, but it was worth it. When Apple discontinued AppleTalk, we got an AppleTalk to Ethernet converter and had it running for the last 5 years as a wireless printer. But today, after loading some A4 paper… I blame the paper, it stopped feeding into the laser drum, and after I popped the lid I could see why. The cable that pulls the cover of the laser drum up and come apart, and the little bit inside that it had been attached to was broken. I can’t imagine trying to fix it after all this time, especially since the color laser printers are getting cheap, and rather good. So it is time to say goodbye. Sniff.

Sorry to hear about your printer. I can't imagine how you feel. I am sure you will be able to get a deal from Apple since you are in partnership with them. Again, my regrets.

Sorry for your loss. I know you get attached to stuff through time and especially when it has been with you through think and thin. I bet it was like you laptop's best buddy.

Sorry to hear about your printer. Look at it this way- your going to have so much fun looking for a newer, sleeker, and all the bells and whistles of a new printer. Like a kid in a candy store. Have fun shopping!!

Hi Dr. J
Sorry to hear about your printer.... not a good time for it to happen, though there is probably never a good time. :(

I guess when one door closes another opens... remember everything happens for a reason and maybe the reason is that you need to go shopping!!!!
Happy printer shopping
