Error: Need instructions on purging memory for HP Officejet 300 All-in-one- Turned unit off during printing. Now unit prints endless garbage characters in page header even after being unplugged for 1+ Days
I know it is considered the unforgivable sin to turn off a printer in
the middle of a print job but I sent a job to the printer that was 1 page long and it started reprinting the job over and over again.(No I didn't tell it to print more than once!) I stopped it after the 10th printing of the job by turning the printer off. I waited about a minute then tried again. It printed garbage data to the first to lines of the page and then fed the paper through and repeated this behavior continually. I then turned it off again but this time unplugged it and waited a few minutes ....again the same behavior. I finally waited a day with the printer unplugged and still the same behavior. I was hoping a method existed of purging whatever memory location of instructions and/or printer data that was making the 300 print even after being unplugged from the electrical outlet, so that it simply stops printing and returns to normal. Similar to hitting the reset button on a PC stuck in a loop. Any help would be appreciated, |
