Can someone tell me what the filter unit beneath the green flap on HP Laserjet II and Brother HL printers is? It looks like a carbon filter. How often do you have to change them and what do they cost? -- David Longley

It is an ozone filter which you change every time you change the drum (not the toner cartridge). The replacement drum comes with a new filter in the packet. AFAICR the LJ II that I worked with for 3 years (about 4 years ago) never needed the drum changing! so I can't comment any further. Suggest you call HP and ask them.

I suspect that's the ozone filter and you should probably change them every
year or so or whenever the printer starts to stink too much. Not many people
stock them but a good printer stockist should be able to order them for you.
Cost is a few quid AFAIR

Perhaps I should have read the second post first - you should not be using
the printer without an ozone filter. It is known to be bad for your health.
In the meantime, open the window very wide.

Hmm.. I believe it's the Ozone filter - where can these be bought
from? and What do they cost? What harm does zone do if it's not
"sucked up" by this filter? Am I being exceptionally "green" by
not replacing it (I tried washing it <g> and it fell apart!) - or
am I likely to be causing a serious health hazard?
