Kyocera f-1010 question

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Hallo everyone,

Someone gave me a Kyocera f-1010 for free, but the display says that I have
to change the drumkit. A new drumkit costs something like 161 EUR. Would you
recommend changing the drumkit and going on for some time with it or buying
another laser printer?

Thank you very much in advance for replying

No, F-1010, that´s the point! It looks as old as Methusalem! It must be
really old.

I cannot get it to print normally. The test page does not print correctly -
it prints strange characters. I can get it to print normally only if I print
as image (for instance a pdf). I read that this is a favourite LINUX
printer. Does it print fundamentally ASCII text?
