17537 2001-08-24 23:53:00 Why do retailers charge so much to upgrade the memory on laser printers? I have been quoted figures ranging up to $180.00 for another 8mb (on a near new Kyocera laser)! Are the memory chips different to the std SDRam as used in pc's, as this ram can pe picked up for as little as $65.00 for 64mb? Guest (0)
17538 2001-08-25 00:16:00 please correct me if i'm wrong here but i think lazer printers use edo ram which is very exspencive to buy new.

might be cheaper to buy a second hand comp and use its ram.

don't quote me on it i very rarly get to play with lazer printers.
