I guess the title says it all. I bought my first computer back in 1992 and bought a laser printer as well. The computer has long since been scrapped but my printer still works beautifully. It’s a Texas Instruments printer which sucks, because Texas Instruments is no longer making this printer. I don’t have the supporting documents any more and I can’t find a model number on my printer. I checked the properties and the name of my printer is TI microlaser PS35. Would anyone care to answer this post and let me know their sources for ordering supplies for their old equipment? Thanks for your help.
printerworks.com had just what I needed to get my ancient steam-powered (not really) printer up and running. These guys appear to have EVERYTHING in the laserprinter universe, plus they’re nice, reasonably priced and they really know their poop. And their website is exhaustive and informative.
Good luck.
Yojimboguy, thank you for linking me to the exact spot I needed. I just finished ordering my toner cartridge. I decided to go with your second selection because the first one had a $75.00 minimum order. Stuyguy, thank you for your reply as well. I was really afraid that I’d have to junk my perfectly good printer and you two guys really saved my bacon. I’m going to save this thread and refer back to all of these sites to see if there’s anything else I need.
Why not try Ebay? I found this, no bids, $7.00
search ebay for ‘microlaser PS35’ (check also completed auctions for people who have stuff that didn’t get bids)
"Texas Instruments LASER PRINTER 16PPM Toner Cartridge.

That’s a great idea, Handy, but I’m scared of Ebay. I’ve read all sorts of threads about snipes(?), getting negative feedback, and having to rely on Paypal. I know I’m being a complete wuss, but that price is great. I guess if I start slow, I’ll get the hang of it. Thanks for going to all that trouble.
