Hp1006 Printer
Latrina Mosely
Users have reported smoke coming out of two printers (HP LaserJet P1006 and HP 1022) when in use and after 3-4 pages have printed. The printer also gets hot and the heat kan be felt by putting the hand over the area where the printed paper comes out. The printed paper also curls up that normally happens when the paper gets hot.
A printer smoking would be *very* unusual, having two different models smoking would suggest a different issue, perhaps an issue with the electrical supply or an environmental issue. It is normal for the fuser to be hot in operation but not enough to cause smoking.
What most folks identify as smoke with LaserJet printers, specifically low end Consumer laser printers is actually steam and not smoke. As the fusing assembly heats the paper, moisture within is literally "cooked out" and will vent out of the top output sometimes appearing as smoke, but will quickly dissipate. This is totally normal and should not be cause for concern. There are ways to help minimize this by storing paper in an airtight container (think Tupperware) to prevent it from absorbing moisture from the air. Many folks believe it takes a lot of time for paper to absorb moisture, but in reality, it only takes a few hours.
Although this phenomenon can occur with all laser printers, higher end Commercial LaserJet printers include fans to help dissipate it better. Low end LaserJet printers do not have internal fans, so it can be more noticeable. In general, if the printer will print, all is good. There are thermistors built in to the fusing assembly to measure heat. Anything out of spec will prompt and error on the unit itself and will not allow the unit to print.
This happend to my HP LaserJet P1505n and I noticed it kept blowing the fuse. I moved the printer and plugged the cord directly into the wall, the smoking has stopped and the fuse does not blow any more. Try this you have nothing to loose. p.s. it does not get hot any more like it use to when I had it plugged into an extension cord. Hope this helps.
The NEW HP M521dn printers are crashing just like the M425dn. We have been around and around trying to isolate the issue; the best we can come up with is a general feeling that the HP Power management SLEEP code is the problem.
Use a different print driver. For example, if you are using the universal print driver (UPD), try printing the same file with the PCL 5 or PCL 6 driver.
Change the file format when saving. For example, save the file as a PDF or other file format before printing.
If the error occurs when scanning, try a different resolution or saving in a different file format."
Can you confirm what firmware release you are using on the M521. We have a few clients with them and for the most part they have been very reliable. If you had issues with both 425 and 521 that would point to a possible environmental issue as opposed to a problem with the printers. Any chance you have new neighbors that are drawing a lot of power out of the grid? Possible that a metal thief cut the ground wires for your utility?
I would agree with the possibility of an environmental issue - we targeted the network. We removed printers from the Win 2008R2 print server and set them up directly with each workstation as one attempt. In another attempt, we isolated the switch ports and Wire-sharked the traffic. Still nothing.
In many cases the cause is a forgotten print job of an unsupported file format or a problematic PDF file on some workstation, very often originating from a second copy of the printer on the workstation, e.g. printer installed automatically by Windows 10 as WSD.
The ONLY protocols that I need inside my TCP/IP network is 9100 Printing, IPv4 and DHCP. ALL of the other protocols that are enabled by default are ANTI-useful and were causing the problems. Once these protocols were disabled, the printers stopped crashing. (well, most of them did anyways)
I have had the printer for some years without anyu problems. Recently, it prints a blank sheet and shows the message to turn the sheet over and press go. Thjs then lets the page print. How do I stop this duplex printing? I have not set the printer for this duplex printing, and am unable to turn it off.
The problem of the duplex printing seemed to go away as I reported a few days ago after checking and unchecking the "printon both sides" box, but today it re-appeared. The "print on both sides" box is not checked! Also, what I don't understand is why the problem appeared in the las few weeks (I had never checked the box), but never before in the several years (trouble-free, I might add) I have had the printer. Possibly a new driver or other software that automatically got downloaded? Anyway, any more suggestions to help me get rid of the duplex printing would be appreciated.
There is a screen that appears when I want to print something. It has two different vesions. One version on the bottom of the page has a small box to check for two-sided printing. I must admit I had not noticed this before, and I found it checked. Unchecking it has solved my problem!! It wasn't a case of checking this feature in the printer oreferences screen after all. Thank you so much for your help!
Hi.
Do you mean that the printer has a manual (not dhcp) fixed IP on the local network ?
In that same case, i used the hplip he-setup tool with manual discovery and it just worked out of the box without any tweak on the firewall.
Or you are in a different case ? Printer not in the same network ? DHCP printer ip adress ?
Or are you accessing the dedicated printer wireless network from your computer ?
On a fresh install, plug it in and turn it on before you start the installation and in course of the installation it will be configured automatically for you along with all the other hardware on the system.
When I connect HP Laserjet Professional P 1102w to my XPS13 with Ubuntu 18.04, HP Device Manager recognizes the printer and tells me that the printer is idle (I have also installed the proprietary hp plugin).
Another thing that struck me is that ls /dev/usb outputs lp0, but as soon as I start to print a document it shows me ls: cannot access '/dev/usb': No such file or directory until I reconnect the printer device.
My HP LaserJet M1132 Multifunction Printer is detected and configured properly with hplip 3.18.7, and hp-check shows no errors nor warnings, but a Cups test page stays in the queue with state "Filter failed". In /var/log/cups/error_log I see:
You can download hplip 3.18.6 from here, then install it as usual, with sh hplip-3.18.6.run. Don't install it as root, use the same user you used to log in (and be sure that user is in the sudo group).
I had an hp 2420 and had identical issue removing a genuine toner cartridge. Seems to be stuck on the right side (even though left side moves about 1 "). I was able to forcefully remove it to check for paper jam. But when I tried to put the toner back, it wouldn't go back all the way on the right side .
I found that on the right side, there was a white plastic circular gear lever that 'pops' out to engage the circular gear on the toner cartridge and that doesn't recess when you pull down the toner cartridge door to put in the toner cartridge (or take it out).
I figured there must be some mechanism that tells it to recess when removing and installing a toner cartridge. I traced around and almost gave up before I found out that the left side of the toner cartridge door had a half moon plastic hinged that connected to it when open. I checked the right side of the toner cartridge door and it didn't have that hinge connecting to it. I looked closer and somehow that hinge got 'disconnected' and went back into the printer body. It was easy to grab that hinged and put it back on the right side of the door. This hinge (when pulled) also recesses/disengages the plastic circular gear into the printer body so the toner can side in and out easily.
I had the same issue for my HP Laserjet 400 m401n, the toner cartridge was loose but something was absolutely stopping it from being able to come out. So I made sure I turned off my printer first, then I was able to take it out easily!! I'm sure this will work for you.
It has to do with the drive gear on the toner cartridge. These will get stuck in printers. Try to close the front cover. Let the printer initialize and when the printer goes to ready open the front cover and try to remove again. Keep trying that until it comes out.
I just spent a half-hour trying to pull my toner tray out of my M180nw. It was missing the blue handle. Here's how I got it to release... There's a white plastic lever attached to a spring in the front-end where the blue handle is supposed to be (mine missing). Slide it to the left and the tray will slide out.
Looks great. I tried to turn the bar card to a red color as you are trying, no luck as well (contacted the card developer have not heard back). I also notice that at about the 20% level the printer lets me know (via the screen on the printer) about a low cartridge.
Would you mind sharing the code that is between the HP8600 Info and the bar graphs of color. I go through a lot of ink and this would alert me.
Thanks so much.
