HP LaserJet III-Error code 12 "Printer Open" problem
This printer was just put into service 3 years ago although it was
made in 1990. It is new out of the box and has printed less than 1000 pages. When turned on it cycles through the self test and into the printer open error. I have checked the obvious items including all switches, DC voltage, most cable connections, ground connections and have changed cartridges. I would scrap this machine except it is like new, it's fast ,quite, and I have several extra cartridges. Anybody have any ideas on fixing this problem? |

HP LaserJet III-Error code 12 "Printer Open" problem
I have a III and a IIID and I would take a look at the cover interlock switch to see if it is operating. The switch is just inside the cover opening on the right front as you stand in front of the printer. Try operating the switch with a match stick a few times. Then with the cover closed try pushing on the cover right above the switch. If this does not work you will probably have to adjust the cover switch. If you are the type it might be prudent to acquire a used printer to practice doing things like adjusting a switch. It will be rewarding. Bob AZ |
