Q: LaserWriter Pro 810 parts

I haven't been able to find any place that has parts for that old a printer. Apple long since discontinued providing parts for that unit - the printer itself was discontinued over fifteen years ago - so most places ran out of parts years ago. You might get lucky and find parts, or a unit you could cannibalize, on eBay or at a computer swap meet. The 810's engine was a Fuji Xerox XP 20, but whether or not the 810 shared any of the paper-path parts with any other model of printer I have not been able to determine.

At this point you may well have to just buy a new, or at least newer, printer.

Regards.

A California Company runs this site, and has repair kits for common problems. There may not be new parts available, but if your failure is uncommon, they have a "junkyard" of old printers from which they can harvest parts, such as the roller you need.

Post a request in their Forum or email them and they will see if they have a part and send you a quote.

This page shows their cross-reference of the 45+ printers that use that same "marking engine" as yours:

I used to own a Dataproducts 2080 which was the same printer as the 810. A google search didn't turn up much.

The reason I wound up scrapping the printer was it's output rollers also turned to a sticky goo just like yours so I would say this might be a common problem.

I had considered pulling the rollers and finding foam replacements but decided a new Oki colour laser was the better way to go. Though it won't print tabloid sizes.
