My HP Laserjet2100 has a burning[?] smell when it prints more than 2 pages at a time.
I have no idea what could be causing this and have no clue what part might be causing the smell.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Sounds normal, laser printers get extremely hot in order to print. It's probably during the toner being fused with the paper that the smell is created. Also VOCs are being released during the print stage.
