    CL2600n and Win 7 x64

    The CLJ 2600 printer is host-based and no UPD driver will ever work until HP implements host-based printer support in these drivers. Use the regular Plug and Play driver instead...

    Hp laserjet 2200dn not loading on windows7

    If you plan on printing ordinary worksheets form applications like Ms Office the PCL 6 driver will do just fine. If you use older templates that were created with or contains PCL specific commands, go for the PCL 5 driver due to compatibility issues. Lastly if you print a lot of complex...

    cm6040mfp; blank control panel

    I have information about two cases where a faulty memory dimm on the formatter caused the display to turn blank and unresponsive until the dimm was replaced. In both cases, the printer seemed to be working fine hardware wise, since the ADF, ITB, Fuser, etc; make the normal movement noises as...

    HP LJ 9000 Power Issues

    Please check the two fuses in the LVPS that none of them are blown before continuing. One is for the fuser directly while the other distributes power to the rest of the printer. Since the display at least flashes we must assume the display is OK. Next step would be to check up on connections...

    HP LJ 9000 Power Issues

    With the printer turned off try remove the fuser and the formatter in the printer. Start the printer and listen if any motors or fans spin. If there is "noise", turn off the printer and reinstall the fuser. Start the printer and listen... If there is "noise" try perform an engine test. Please...

    Color Laser 2840 vs. Win7(x64)

    Hello, Most HP laser printers will actually work with the latest UPD drivers available for any Windows based system unless they are host based (no PCL or PS support) Is the printer networked or connected via USB ? If networked then the UPD print driver should work flawlessly else you probably...

    Weird printer issue on print out

    I checked some more on the issue and found the springs in the left side next to the transfer roller seems to be able to affect the charge of the cartridge. Check if any of these springs are missing or bend. The metal "knobs" on the white plastic plate only seems to check for whether toner seal...

    Weird printer issue on print out

    You need to inspect the contact pins in the printer and verify the connection from these to the high voltage part of the PSU. Start by removing the toner cartridge and check the inside the printer to the left. There should be a small white plastic place plate with two round metal knobs. This...

    Printer "ready" status

    Are you using discrete drivers or have you tested any of the latest UPD drivers ? Also bidirectional mode in the driver usually has to be enabled for the printer to send feedback.

    Weird printer issue on print out

    This issue is caused by bad high voltage connection to the toner catridge. I have reproduced the same issue here on several of the latest HP LaserJets like the P3015 and P4015 printers. The issue can easily be reproduced by blocking one of the contacts on the toner with a piece of tape.

    HP LaserJet 4050 Paper Trays

    A few things to check... Make sure the paper size/type on the printer is equal on both trays. If type/size is different for the trays, the printer will stop and ask for correct media. Eventually check and print a config page to verify the printer recognizes the paper size/type correctly...
