Just repaired one of these. Before connecting it to the computer I tried the self test i.e. 1. Turn the printer on. 2. Press and hold the POWER button. 3. Press the RESUME button four times. 4. Release the POWER button. All I got was a couple of short vertical lines on the paper.

The printer wont respond to any command. It is brand new and operating on windows 7. The on/off switch has no effect, it just stays on till the plug is pulled. Then the next time it is turned on it dows the same thing. Question is, is there a method to reset the nardware in some way. Any help would...

I'm shopping for an HP black/white printer. I see that HP makes several models that they call "LaserJet"... Is an HP Laserjet printer an inkjet printer, or is it a Laser printer? Thanks folks...... fjLee

I am using Win xp. My deskjet 970 cse is about ten years old but still running great. I use cheap recycled cartridges which have a built-in printhead and a large tank. (HP 45) With the advent of Win 7, there is no driver for this printer, except a half-assed generic driver from Microsoft. HP ...

Today I took delivery of a new Epson 3880. As described in the manual the initial ink drop was appreciable, much of the initial ink obviously ends up in maintenance cartridge, which the indicator shows is about 70% full. However, when I look at the cartridge the waste ink is only in the central...

Hello A friend has an MP 520 and wants to print on 10" by 7" paper - there appears to be no custom size setting in the driver menu. Can this printer have paper size set to custom sizes? If so, where's the appropriate command? Regards John

I am currently using a 10-year old HP laserjet 2100 printer but it is dying. So I am looking for a printer. For printing cover papers (70 -80 lb), the output should be in the rear. Otherwise, the paper will be curled excessively. Could someone advise me which monochrome laser printer (s) allows...

We have WinXP SP3 We have just installed a new Samsung printer/fax/scanner unit CLX6210FX on the computer via a network cable. Our other printer is a SharpAR5316 copier/printer connected via a USB cable. When we have it all connected up, the Sharp AR5316 keeps giving a constant off/on signal to...

I am looking to buy a new mono printer. I have read favorable reviews about the Brother HL-5340D. Does anyone have this printer, and would they recommend it ?

I bought the EpsonPhoto R265 about a year ago, complete with a continuous ink system and after some fiddle got it working. It worked OK except for needing a lot of clean cycles for almost every use. I recently got a leak in the Yellow cartridge and took it out to replace the rubber...

I am scanning a lot of old photo albums into my computer. My old Epson flatbed scanner/printer gave up its ghost and I am looking for a replacement. The nice thing about my old scanner was that, if I place two (or more) photos on the scan-bed, the Epson software would automatically give me...

I have Canon 1640 laser printer. After the first toner cart was used up I switched to a half used one. After printing hundreds of pages the second cart was exhausted. So I put in a new cart. Unfortunately it is still showing "toner out" and won't print. Does this have a chip or other sofware...

I'm having difficulty with my HP 2100TN. I needed to print a lot of pages and so wanted to use both sides of each page. So I first printed all odd number pages, and then proceeded with the tedious chore of flipping each page for the even numbers. Unfortunately just about every page gets stuck,...

Does anyone own a Epson 1400? If so any major problems? I need to replace my Canon i960 that is banding and I can't do anything to fix it.

I have a Epson ActionLaser 1500 that is a great workhorse... still works fine. But, with newer computers not having a parallel port, I'm trying to see if a "USB to Parallel" cable will work. I purchased a TrendNet cable, but it doesn't seem to be compatible. And, since this printer is so old,...
