My sister goes to grad school in Missouri and asked me a question for a friend
that I have never heard of before (I work for UNC-CH Computer Science Dept
and we have ~50 IW IIs and no one has ever heard of this problem).

When he (friend of sister) prints to his Imagewriter, occasionally it will
stop at ~1/4 of a page and the print head will burn a hole through the ribbon
causing him to buy and replace many ribbons.  This had happened to him about 
18 months ago and the on-campus repair shop replaced the print head for $39.  
Since it has started back up again he went back to the repair shop and now 
they want $110 to replace the printhead.  This didn't sound right to me.

I was wondering if anyone of you have ever had or witnessed this type of 
problem.  Could this guy just have a lemon?

Please respond via e-mail (I read the newsgroup daily, but don't think there
are many others interested) and I will post results if so desired.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
