I have an HP 4l laserjet printer. It has worked well for many years. About a week ago, it lost power. I tried all the outlets in my apartment--nothing. Took it to a repair place and it worked there. Took it to a friend's hosue and worked there. Took it home and it doesn't work in any outlet. (The outlets work well for my computer, tv, etc.). Tried a different power cord and the printer still didn't work. Dose anybody have any suggestions?

Doesn't make much sense so what is different except the location when you take it elsewhere?

That is what you need to look at to find a solution. The only other alternative is that the [b]Nasty Little Gremlin[/b] that lives inside this printer doesn't like you one little bit and you have to either make it happy again or replace the printer. ;)

Using a pair of needle nose pliers, out an "S" shape into each blade of the plug that goes into the wall outlet. Many outlets get worn out and loosen up. The bent shape will tighten the contact area in the outlet.
