hp 2200d duplex problem

[sflaguy]

Have a hp 2200d printer..though i is set not to duplex it tries to duplex and jams. I would like to permanently set the printer so that it will never try and duplex anymore

On other HP printers (e.g. HP LJ 4200dtn) you can just physically remove the duplex unit; I don't know whether you can do this with the 2200d.

I believe the duplex assembly cannot be removed without disabling the printer, though I have not tried it. All 2200 printers include it, it's not an option.

Why not fix the problem?

You might have a piece of paper stuck in there causing the jam.

To disable the duplex option, go into the printer properties and it should be an option under one of the tabs. Unfortunately I don't have that printer to tell you exactly where.

To get to printer properties, go to Control Panel and open the Printers (or Printers and Faxes in XP). Then right-click on the appropriate printer and pick Properties.

Most of the time it is a check box and has multiple options such as whether the page is duplexed on the long or short end of the paper.

Good luck,
Mike

I have an HP 2200D and only recently it has begun to jam when in the duplex mode. It has tried to feed 2 pages from the in tray, only to stop with an error, and it has jammed after printing one page and then taking the paper back into the unit to print the second side of the paper. it jams. It happens way too often and wastes 3-4 pages of paper with each jam, not to mention time and ink. There are no pieces of paper in the unit that I can find.

I'd love to know how to take this thing apart and make sure everything is in working order, like a 12,000 service on our cars.

It prints correctly without jamming if I manually slow it down. For example, I print pages 1-2, and then enter another print command for pages 3-4. The printer gets a pause in between pages. I don't know why this would make a difference.

I'd love to send this to an HP Service Center for repairs and overhaul or whatever they do. I can't find out where HP will do this. It's a good printer and I really don't want to buy another printer. Thanks for any help and suggestions.

You should be able to get an HP service manual either from HP on line or from

http://www.bitsnpcs.co.uk

For service centres, Google 'HP Service Centers' or 'HP Service Centres' depending where you are.
