Hi,

The cheepest and safest way would be selling your printer in your area if possible and get another one.. considering the relatively heavy weight of a laser printer, its shipping costs and its power resources usage..

 

Unlike inkjet printers, Laser printers are intended for either 220 or 110v, most internal parts such as the mainboard, formatter, fuser, etc. are designed completely different for 110v or 220v printers... a Laser printer can be very sensitive to power and may not work as expected with such a voltage converter as it may won'g get suffficient power and that may highly affect its performance and print quality

 

Hope that make sense for you,

Shlomi
