Printer Repairman

I have a Savin CLP28 printer that is starting to act up. I have called a couple of local shops and they want to know put the machine on a service plan. I bought this machine second hand and it doesn't get the volume that it was designed for...much less. It has thrown an error code that I researched on the internet that might as well of said to clean the flux capacitor. Anyone familiar with the machine that does work on the side or just straight repair jobs?

What's the error code?

I've serviced a small number of laser printers in the past, (late 90's early 2000's) but not in the last 10 years. I saw on your link where someone suggested the code refereed to the fuser being bad. The fuser assembly is like a steam roller inside the printer. Just to expand a little on how the printer works; a laser creates an electric charge on a roller in which toner is attracted to and as the paper passes over it transfers from the roller to the paper. The paper then passes through the fuser assembly (steam roller) and the toner gets bonded to the paper. I've found that the fuser is one of the most common components to fail in laser printers. Not hard to change if you can get to it.

This isn't Pangris but he isn't too far from me.

Those issues have passed but I found on the interwebz that allegedly something was dirty. I am going to order the fusing oil for black but that takes forever for that to run out. However, it said it was a 25,000 sheet drum and I bet I only got 10,000 at best out of it. Basically the main problem is that it is stating that something is jamming from the lower tray and it is making me open the front and side to basically reset. Occasionally a piece doesn't make it and it has floated behind the tray. The machine looks a little dusty on the inside and I tried my best to blow it out. I was just hoping to have a trained eye give it a once over and tell me what I need to order or whatever needs to be done.
