I googled this after I saw what appeared to be smoking coming from where the paper comes out of my HP 1006 printer..just little wisps. I told myself it was just dust from not being used for a while..but there are google entries. I emailed HP support and called but no answer yet. I have used the printer before, and it was new when I got it, but it has not been used all that much and has been idle for a while. I do live in a dampish place and I read the paper could be damp and it could be steam or it could be something caught on the fuser etc.

If I don't get hold of HP, do you think it is safe? The website said it would not turn on if it was true smoke...mg
