Take it back to the vendor! Steaming Bad! Very, very bad! Oh, yeah... and shut it off... the steam could (not likely, but could) be toxic. Most likely, something got spilled into the innards, and as the printer heats up it's causing the fluid to vaporize. Garth. My HP LaserJet 1012 is steaming (steam rising up) when I print. I purchased it in January 2004. The paper is hot and curls when it comes out and the printer feels hot to touch after printing 5-7 pages. Any ideas where the steam is coming from? I thought it might be the cartridge. _________________________________________________ For information concerning the MUGLO List just click on http://muglo.on.ca/Pages/joinus.html Don't forget to periodically check our web site at: http://muglo.on.ca/ _________________________________________________ For information concerning the MUGLO List just click on http://muglo.on.ca/Pages/joinus.html Don't forget to periodically check our web site at: http://muglo.on.ca/
