I plugged in the printer in the UK, without a power-transformer. It made a loud-ish POP noise and weird, heavy smoke came out from underneath, like a puddle. It's probably unfixable, but I'll give it free to anyone willing to try!

ailsa.laing the part that usually fails by receiving an over-voltage is the power supply. The pop and smoke is most certainly coming from the caps on the board. Consider replacing the complete power supply with on that supports your voltage. Part number for that is LT0485001 and you can download the service manual from here
