nah, the pcu is the photo conductor unit that does all the hard work of 
transfering the static pattern via collected toner to the hot paper.  
Mines buggered and it's costing the earth to use an inkjet.

because the printer won't work without one ;-)  The one for this model 
is about £90 which is significantly more than the bargain I got on this 
printer new after a bit of chat with the blonde manageress ;-)  It was 
a few years ago and I'm pretty sure anyone worth their salt wouldn't 
let me get away with it now ;-)
