Hello,

	I am attempting to get an AST TurboLaser 800 laser printer oper-
ational. This hasn't  been used in a while, and the people who have used 
it no longer work here. On power up, the printer seems to be powering up,
and the symbol that indicates that the printer is heating up is blinking.
After a while, it goes on solid. Pulling out the papaer cartridge or 
opening up any of the access panels results in a cover open indication 
on the front panel. As far as this goes, the printer seems to be OK. 
It does not, however print out a status page. I have the following
questions:

	1. How do I get it to print a status page, or doesn't it do this?

	2. As far as is known, this is a Ricoh printer engine, the R4080. 
	We have many supplies for a Ricoh R4081. Can these supplies be 
        used with this printer?

	3. What type of printer is this? Is it a Lasejet of any type,
	Postscript, or other any printer usable with Windows or OS/2?


	Any information about this printer, and especially maintenence 
for itwould be appreciated. Please reply by E-mail or post to this news 
group. Thank you in advance.
