help troubleshotting my printer A couple of years ago I was given an old HP Laserjet 4100TN Inmediately I reseted its networking settings and installed it in my home network without problems I also configured my router to always give it IP address 19216819 based on its MAC address Months ago the key Item on the control panel stopped working not a big deal at that time but just yesterday it stopped printing at all The printer will start as normal The control panel shows READY as usual but when sending anything to the printer via network the printer will not do anthing I tried pinging its IP address without success I changed the ethernet cable with same results I connected it via LPT port and when sending something to the printer I can see the control panel shows the normal PROCESSING

wierd you cant print to it and the buttons do nothing Try partsnowcom they might have the control panel available that is the first thing I would try Does it beep when turned on or does it just power up like its ready to print Also remove any extra memory and the jetdirect and try againnivekLaser Forum2008-12-04T21:32:43+00:00http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/laser/59543That takes the fun

Forum2008-12-04T20:45:54+00:00http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/printer/59554Hello Ive started working in an office that uses an Epson CX6900F Great printer nice quality But it has a small problem It will print a page or two then say Paper out or not loaded correctly please insert paper and press the OK button Sometimes it will print 3 or 4 pages and then give this message but thats about the maximum Most documents I print are 2030 pages and I print several copies So I stand by the printer pick the paper up and put it back in and press OK Ive tried: 1Loading less paper 2Loading the most paper possible 3Flopping the the stack of inserted papers over so top of the stack lays on the cover instead of standing up in the feeder I thought the change of angle might help 4Pushing tighter the little plastic bit on the side that aligns the paper straight in there 5Opening up the little bit on the side that aligns the paper straight in there thinking maybe it was too tight and holding the paper in 6 Beating the machine with a bat Well 6 not yet but soon The printer is a year old and the other people in the office dont remember this happening as often but it did happen Now the easy thing to do would be to take it to a repair place BUT I livework in Thailand In Thailand something is not broken until it catches fire If I take in a printer with this problem they will print a page and tell me it works I can then force them to try to fix it properly but Ill just pay money and be without a printer for a week to end up with the same problem Trust me if youve lived in this country you know that to be the truth So until then I waste my hours sitting by a printer pressing the OK button Please help : Rick rickjames8Printer Forum2008-12-04T20:39:08+00:00http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/laser/58988#11You do not need the service manual Open the paper tray and you will see the separation roller in the front center Remove the roller and the piece behind it is the clutch It slides right off You can do the test above or just leave the clutch off and put the roller back on even though it moves back and forth Do a couple of test sheets and if it works then the clutch is the issue and do what I say above If it still jams then you have other issuesdmzcomputeLaser

bought an A to B USB cable It works fine with some caveats The HP Director software says the printer is disconnected despite my having uninstalled the previous install and downloaded and installed the latest drivers But Im able to print fine and can scan through the Scanners and Cameras utility in the Windows XP control panel One lesson for anyone who tries this: during the install process the driver software says you dont need to reboot after the installation if youre using a USB cable After multiple attempts I found that I did have to reboot and that the printer had to be off until after that reboot RobertrlweinerInkJet Forum2008-12-04T16:02:51+00:00
