I've always been quite enamored with the Xerox Phaser solid ink printers for some reason, very cool idea and no toner mess... You can likely find them cheap used, I picked up 3 for under $40 each. The 8500 series, is very fixable, service manual being online, and only two torx screws needed to open the thing up.
I had an 8560 with a pre-heater error. After swapping the pre-heater with another printer and still getting the same error 37,008.44, a nice person said it might be a fuse. http://www.fortwayneprinterrepair.com/wordpress/2012/05/24/37008-44-error-xerox-phaser-8400/
About 6 plugs and 16 screws later, I'm inside the electronics package and sure enough, one of the 10A fuses is out, F3 in my case. Popped a new one in from a broken spare printer (one of the 10 driver chips on the print head itself finally died, I think from overheat due to ink spillage and someone moving a hot printer!) and re-assemble, the darn thing works again.
Enough for now...
