Of course, it's suitable. I've used it for this application without any problems.
Please read where I said it "may contain oils". Not all rubbing alcohols do and there are applications where it may not be a problem. However, it's best to avoid the potential problem, my being careful about what you buy.

Yep, agreed 100% with you James. Isopropyl is fine, just make sure it is that and nothing else. If it says anything else on the contents then leave it alone. We may be lucky here in the UK as we can get specifically isopropyl alcohol at some computer parts shops.
As for tips and tricks when taking apart printers and the like.... exactly the same. Be very careful. I always used to work on a white or light coloured bench (usually my office desk) and laid each part out carefully. The only specialist tools I had were a set of screwdrivers and some particularly long tweezers :-) The times when I wished for specialist manufacturers tools... I did make a set of screwdrivers once though...
Oh, you guys are such wimps. The best thing to do is to simply get a large pail, fill it with WD-40, and insert the whole printer for 5 minutes. Then pull out the printer and set it on top of the heater vent in your living room for a couple hours to dry out nicely, and you're back in business. That way you don't have to take anything apart. -- Tony Alfrey tonyalfrey@earthlink.net "I'd Rather Be Sailing"
