Help: How 2 Use 110V AC US Printer

[asheet]

Hi
I have Samsung SCX-4200 bought in USA. It accepts 110V AC @5Amps. Pls direct me to a suitabel solution for using it in Mumbai with 220V AC.

It will help if u can respond wrt following :-

1. Cost of replacng the original Power supply of 110V AC with 220V AC through Samsung/3rd party

2. Cost of a StepDown Txformer 220V/110V 5amp (Approx 500W)

3. I tried using the 220V to 110V Convertors rated at 1000W but the converter blew up & there was a Spark at printer end also. I don't know if printer is alive or dead. A quick chk with multimeter at printer end showed me that with swithc ON, i get zero Resistance & Infinite with Switch Open.

4. Any other useful option

Pls help me asap

Thanks

Mine too blew up (the stepdown that is). This one's a broadband router....

Thanks. I contacted local Samsung Service centre who sold me a Step down Txfermoer for Rs 1000. My Printer is working fine now.
