    EEK ! my printer just turned into a BBQ !?

    Gosh, I just had quite a scary experience : while printing some PHP-related stuff, my printer, an Epson C900 (you might know them, one of the cheaper color-laserprinters; it's a large tower, tho) litterally blew up. It started smoking and the smell was like a burning skyscraper. It's all black inside and there's toner spread all over the floor (only black dust, so it makes me think that only the black toner cartridge blew up). A few minutes after the explosion, the toner kept coming out of the box through the ventilation holes - never seen that before... never wanna see that again...

    My hands and parts of the white wall are all black now; soap doesn't seem to help right away.

    Shall I send it back for repair ? Not sure if I'll ever want this machine next to me anymore...

                  Dude be very fucking careful toner is very bad for your lungs etc. I would call those fuckers and tell them they better send out someone to clean the fucking mess because you didn't do shit to make the printer blow up.

                                  Put it on Ebay as slightly damaged.

                                  I would do some research on this. Contact the place you bought it from and fill them in with what happened. They may want to accomodate you.
