LaserJet 4MP cleaning

Bought my LaserJet in 1993 and he never gave me any problems. Need a new toner cartridge. Is no longer available at HP. Found it (unit, brand new, sealed, HP) on eBay.  After installing, the copies are terrible - grey smear and the ghosts of the previous printed pages. Am running WIN7 64 bit. Downloaded HP software cleaning, but the will, nor run on a system 64-bit. Anyone else out there with my problem?

Hey!

Glad to hear that you like your 4MP I'm not sure which country you are, but the 98 is still available at HP. See here. In addition, staples is the Canada and the United States.

If you put in your old cartridge, the problems disappear? In regards to printing defects, I found this guide to be more useful (although apparently he doesn't have a section for ghosting)

I would try to re-allocation of places the cartridge in the printer; ghosting could flow from the cartridge is based do not (it can not completely discharge the charge that has been applied, where ghosting).

According to this page:

  • Try a test a half to limit.
  • Place one sheet of paper in the manual feed and press the button on top of the printer to start a self-test when the paper disappears, then press the button on the side of the printer that the upper door and stops printing.
    Remove the cartridge and check the paper to see if the Ghost is present at this point if yes, then it's probably the cartridge if not then it is the fuser Assembly.
  • The number of times it is repeated at the bottom of the page will also be you indicate origin of the defect.

Hope that helps!

  • Color LaserJet CP1525nw Printe: CP1525nw transfer cleaning/replacing the belt

    I have a blue streak (3/4 "wide) running down the right side of my impressions. I opened the drawer of the cartridge and looked inside and noticed the same stripe width running down the right side of the transfer belt. Obviously this belt needs a cleaning at least or a replacement at most. My question is: can anyone give me a figure "approximate" on what is a cleaning or a replacement cost? I paid $199 for this printer. The following printer I have in mind will cost me $249. I love the printer I have and I would keep it if it is cost effective to repair. Thanks for your comments.

    You have a bad cyan toner cartridge. Actually remove the cyan toner cartridge and chances are that there will be a bunch of toner on the drum. The transfer belt clean as it moves toward the front of the printer as a broom to windshield wipers that remove excess toner before she put another image to be transferred on paper. Since this is only happening in the one color that tells us the belt is fine and the toner cartridge is the question.

  • HP Color Laserjet: HP Color LaserJet - lines/stripes

    Hello

    I have a HP color LaserJet and I get a lot of lines and streaks on my printed pages.

    I also note toner inside the printer and my printer seems to take cleaning cycles more than before.

    Thank you!

    Although I work for HP, my posts are MY opinion and not those of HP.

    I would recommend some of the things

    First of all, make sure that your firmware is up-to-date, go to the page software and drivers on HP.com download and install the latest firmware available for the printer.

    Then, make sure that the toner collection unit is not complete

    Finally, print a cleaning of the control panel of the printer page, normally, you should select the following text in the menu:

    • Maintenance of the unit
    • Calibration / cleaning
    • Cleaning page

    You can also view this document as well.

  • Color LaserJet MFP M477fdn Pro: M477 Software Installation fails at 99%

    Like others who have posted here, I have been unable to get the printer software to complete the installation. The printer is a Color LaserJet Pro MFP M477fdn, 3 months. I'm trying to install the software on a new workstation HP Z240 performing Windows 10 (64-bit). The connection is via USB cable. The printer and the software have been previously used with a Windows 7 machine without problem.

    I tried, repeatedly, to install the software from the disc supplied with the printer and also a 126.6 mb download HP Color LaserJet MFP printer M477 Pro series full software and drivers. The results are the same with a source - installation apparently progresses up to connect it the indicator product of progression from screen reached 99%, how it gives an error message "a Setup operation took too long to run. It is a fatal error, preventing the use of the product. Restart your computer and run this installer again. If the problem persists, please visit the web site of product support for your product. "It takes about 20 minutes for the phase of installation to go from 0 to 99%, and then later hooked up to 99% for 2-5 minutes, the error message is displayed.

    I am able to print to this printer, but at least do not have the ability to scan from the computer there is no indication that the I.R.I.S. OCR software is installed.

    I had care of do not connect USB until you are educated.

    I tried repeating the installation without uninstalling first and get the same result.

    I used the uninstall contained the disk feature, and have deleted the printer to the computer using the Panel between the installation attempts.

    I tried to do a right click to run the installer as administrator and get the same result.

    I tried to install after clean boots with turned off Windows Firewall and all functions of the software Norton Internet Security including its function of firewall turned off.

    The event viewer displays none error entry at all and no entry identifies HP as the source of an event.

    I tried to connect via USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports.

    I cleaned recycle them and temporary folders.

    I have updated the firmware of the printer to the 20160331 version.

    Printed printer configuration report will not display any errors, nor that the printer itself indicates something is wrong and confirms the update of the firmware.

    I deselected the optional software, the devices experience HP and I.R.I.S. OCR, trying to install only the required files two more program scanning HP.

    Thanks for any help solving this.

    I think I understood the question, 10 windows installs its own driver, and the installation program expects the hp driver to install.

    DO this FOR THE HP INSTALLER PROCESS (when the percentage meter goes)

    1. go into the Device Manager and find the printer in the list of devices

    2. right click on the printer and select "Update Driver software"

    3. click on "Browse my computer for driver software".

    4. choose "Let Me pick one...» »

    5. Select the named driver: HP Color LaserJet MFP M477 PCL-6 Pro (make sure it's one with a dash between the pcl and 6!)

    6. click next and back to the installation of hp box and must now see the printer and continue the installation.

  • Color laserjet 4500 stripes CMYK

    Hello, last week, I have an old printer to my friend HP color laserjet 4500 (older printer...).
    He works "very well", but on each page, there are two bands CMYK. There is always in a different position on the page, but at the same distance from the other band. I ve already many printed pages, and these bands are always distinct as the first impression... Configuration pages (where you can see those stripes) and a close-up (page 3) is attached. Is there anyone who knows what could be the problem? Thank you!

    It sounds like a problem with the main drum, unit is 6 inches in diameter and thus you can get 2 copies of the default on a page, the colors are separated as the unit performs a full rotation between each color due to the gear and the displacement of carousel, so that you get each color in turn one after the other.

    As it is the width of the image, it may be the cleaning squeegee or similar within the drum unit, it might be useful checkign the lift remaining where it is close to replacement anyway.

    Each cartridge replacement will not solve this problem, as the belt is not a cause that on this model, the color of the scene are stacked exactly on top of the other, the image is formed on the surface of the belt, the element that takes the ink in the cartridges, and transfers it to the belt is the drum unit and it will expose this issue if defective.

    You should be able to confirm able from the beginning of one single fault at the beginning of another, this should be 6 inches (152 mm) - you should see also the spacing between each color of 6 mm the image below shows a typical default if the drum has a brand, the image will show spacing of 6 mm between the colors, the spacing between the beginning of the black point and the beginning of the next black dot will be 6 inches.

  • HP LaserJet P1102w: Cannot install the driver or the printer

    I had this problem on my old PC as well.

    I plugged my printer via the USB port (a port I don't know for sure works) and nothing pops up to auto install or whatever it is. I thoguth that was weird, but I also thought that the pilot would be on the printer, so let's just go to the section of the Control Panel printer. I did it, and the printer is there, but he says that he has no driver. I tried the option to find driver, but that did not work.

    I thought maybe I just need to download it then. Came on the HP site, downloaded the installer for my printer and started running it. He gets to the part where I need my printer and plug it into the USB port. I did, but it will not register in the installation software I did. The USB port works, as I have the ability to eject the printer in the taskbar, but I can not install anything.

    Hello @Kitanya,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you encounter USB connectivity problems during the installation of your HP LaserJet Pro P1102w printer on your computer Windows 8.1. I would like to help you to solve this problem today. Now I see you tried first to install your HP Laserjet Printer simply by plugging the USB cable in order to run the HP Smart Install process. HP Smart Install is the installation program built into your printers of programming. By plugging the USB cable, if own you a CD player on your computer, the printer is supposed to be recognized as a software CD and an installation must be started. However, is there is no problem with the CD drive on the computer or the printer is blocked to be recognized correctly it can cause the HP Smart Install feature does not work correctly. That being said, when you tried to run the installation with the downloaded driver package and were prompted to plug in the USB cable, then because the printer has already been connected "prematurely" with the USB cable already recognized computer connection. Therefore, the computer won't recognize the P1102w related 'recently' if he thinks already that is.

    With that all being said, I will guide you in the faster and easier way to solve this problem. Please follow the steps below.

    Step 1: Uninstall the drivers:

    Even if the installation has not completed successfully a part of the software and drivers can have made their way onto your computer. It is important that we have a nice clean slate to work with, so please follow the steps to remove all traces of your computer printer.

    4. Scroll through the list of population programmes and to locate the HP Laserjet.
    5. Click the HP Laserjet Printer and select uninstall
    6. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the uninstallation.

    Once the uninstall is complete, proceed to the next step.

    Step 2: Remove temporary files:

    1. Open the screen Start by clicking the Windows button on the lower left corner of your computer screen or by selecting the Windows key bottom left of your keyboard to the right of the Ctrl key
    2. In the start screen, type run. Click on Run to launch the run dialogue box.
    3. In the run box, type %temp% , and then click OK
    4. When the Temp folder opens, select Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboard. Everything in this folder will highlight now.
    5. Select the "delete" button on your keyboard. The Temp folder contains the temporary internet files. None of the actual files or folders on your computer will be affected by deleting Temp files. A Temp file should you will automatically get the pop up to 'jump' this point.
    6. Close the Temp folder, once it is empty
    7. Right-click the recycling bin on your desktop and select empty recycling bin

    Step 3: Reinstall the drivers:

    1. Please click here to download the appropriate drivers for your printer
    2. Once the site opens click on the download button at the top left
    3. Allow the download to run
    4. Follow the steps on the screen to reinstall your printer
