Samsung ML-2150 (2152W) (1) suddenly prints all pages "almost" blank and (2) error message "HSync Engine Error" , not in user manual
My Samsung printer has been working flawlessly, 100% jam-free, until
this evening. (Could it be that we are working on our tax return?) Suddenly, every page comes out almost blank. Test pages, such as the printer's "Demo" page or font list, come out with characters printed out very light, and printed with a "semi-outline" appearance because most of the letter's shape is not actually printed. If I run say 4-5 pages at a time through the printer, it stops in mid-page with this error message "HSync Engine Error" which is not in the user manual. Googling on this exact phrase gives me exactly 1 hit. A Russian language site that I think is selling refill toner or replacement toner cartridges. (I can't read Russian too well.) Power-cycling the printer did not help. Taking out the Postscript SIMM did not help. What gives? Am I about to new a new printer? If so, I'll be really torqued. This printer has done maybe 25K total prints since it was born. --thatcher-- |

Mrs T, just wondered...."that's all I'm doing"...!, wonder
what happens if you took the toner unit out, hold some newspaper under the drum end and shake it as though one was shaking Mick Jaggers marraccas for a few seconds, does the print improve..? If so then you'll need a refill or a new toner unit Just in case it does and to see how it's done see-: http://www.refill-toner.co.uk/index.htm Davy |

The support person told me immediately that the problem was either the main system board or the fusing board, a/k/a LSU. The fix is about $170 either way. I drove the printer over to a local support location just yesterday. We once sent a Samsung printer out for repair of the same type of problem. Unfortunately it didn't help. I hope you have better luck. We ended up getting a new different brand printer. Well, I got the printer back from the service place almost two weeks ago now. It has been working flawlessly, except for a few "normal" PS boo-boos. --thatcher- |
