The LaserJet 2600n is one of the more affordable color LaserJet printers in HP’s lineup but with the price savings you lose some of the options you find on the higher end models.¬¨‚Ć The LaserJet 2600n comes with 32 megs of RAM but has no expansion slots to increase memory,¬¨‚Ć if you are using the machine in a high output lab environment you may find the printer is pretty slow processing print jobs.
This printer also seems to have a defect with its Fuser as I have had to replace the fuser unit twice in under 2 years. To replace the unit takes considerably more work than in older HP models such as the LaserJet 4100, 4200, or 4050.
To replace the Fuser must first remove the Right hand Side Panel (if looking at it’s front).
With the Side Panel Removed Take unhook the cable that connects the top control panel to the side.  Also remove all of the Toner cartridges.
Now Begin unscrewing and unsnapping the top panel off the printer, this can be kind of tricky as one of the plastic top panes can be tough to unsnap.
With the side panel and top panels removed you can now replace the fuser.  Make sure to remove the bottom screws that hold the fuser to the top pane, also remember to reconnect all of the wired connections to the fuser.  Make sure not to unscrew any of the screws that actually part of the fuser unit,  this can be kind of tricky as it is somewhat hard to see what screws actually connect to the control board.
here is a photo of the damaged fuser, notice the burnt image on the fuser medium.
The total process took me about 30-45 minutes to complete, and the printer works like new.¬¨‚Ć Overall the process is probably still cost effective since you can find fuser’s for this model under 90$.
