LaserJet pro 400 m401 will not pick up paper

My laserjet pro 400 m401 will pick up paper from the tray. I have not changed the paper I use. It's # 20 at Georgia-Pacific paper. The printer has not been dropped or abused. If anything, we have treated the printer very carefully and gently. Therefore, I suspect any damage physical/mechanical/electronic. The feed roller makes a squeaking/squealing noise when it runs. The printer then times out and the screen displays the message "no paper pickup. All stop there.

I fixed it myself! One of the springs two compression at the end of the paper closest to the front of the printer tray became weaker. I've removed, carefully strained it and reinstalled it, and it works as good as new.

  • MFP HP LaserJet Pro 400 M425dn will not print the text to format 72 points or more

    My workplace has recently bought a M425dn of MFP HP LaserJet Pro 400 all-in-one printer. It works perfectly except for the fact that it will not print text that is 72 points or larger in size. I tried many fonts that are installed with Windows, and all them print correctly to the point size 71.5 or smaller; Another thing simply does not appear in prints. Content which is of size to 72 points or more * fact * affect the flow of the content printed on the page, however. It's like the 72 points or larger text takes up space, but it is completely invisible on the printed page.

    I tested using Microsoft Word 2002 on three separate computers, of which two have installed Windows 7 and Windows Vista installed. The problem is the same on all three computers. The printer is connected via an ethernet cable to our wired network. I have installed the printer software included, and I don't think that there are updates for it that have not been installed up to this point.

    Any thoughts on how to solve this problem?

  • LaserJet pro 400 m425dn mfp: mfp laserjet pro 400 m425dn will not connect to the network

    I just bought a mfp laserjet pro 400 m425dn printer/phtocopier and I can't seem to connect to our network.  I have it plugged into the router and it says "cable disconnected" without an IP address.  I don't have the USB cable to configure the machine and I was hoping to do it via the network (which tells me is an option).  I don't know if that has something to do with it.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The printer should be released the box set up using DHCP for addressing.

    When plug you it into the router it should pull an IP address, if it is its cable disconnected then you might have a bad port on the router, a bad cable or a bad printer.

    Plug something else into the same port with the same cable and see if it works, if you have a defective printer and need to return it and get a replacement.

    You may also be able to find someone to replace the trainer who has the network port to it.

    ndpadgett,

    You have two options:

    1. If you try to install this printer via a USB port, please do a network install and use the driver from hp.com.

    M475 solution print driver full

    2. If you unble to do a network installation, then please look to see if you have a universal print driver installed on your machine. If you do, then you must remove the UPD driver, re-boot and re - install the m475 SW.

  • HP laserjet pro 400 m401 dw - how do you get to recognize the second impression tray?

    We just bought this printer about a month ago, and we love it, so we bought the second tray (or drawer, however you want to think of it) because my biggest complaint every day is reload the paper trays. WE have tried everything we can think of to get the printer to recognize the second tray and pull the paper away when the first is empty, but its does not work. It's like we bought it for no reason. Anyone know how to make it work? Thank you

    You must distinguish between the following:

    • Printer - does the printer itself knows that the tray is present? Check by printing a report 'configuration', or by checking the settings with the built-in Web server. If the tray is not recognized, this implies a physical problem with fitting tray, etc.
    • Of the computer - the printer driver on your system knows that the additional feeder is available? On a system Windows, look at the device settings tab in the printer properties dialog and check the extra tray is set to installed and not installed.

  • Printer will not feed the paper card stock

    We have an Officejet Pro 8600 who will not feed the paper card stock. It was the printer that I used when I worked and did a great job on standard paper, but it won't take my wife stock card paper craft. We used to have a Deskjet F4400 HP all in one and we were able to print. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    John,

    Welcome to the Community Forum of HP.

    Try indicating what type of media you print to the printer - if your media in the printing preferences settings do not understand "card", you should choose something else which is similar: Matt Brochure, card, 'something' that kind of card stock for the printer to the printer waits 'thick' paper looks.

  • Help! My M475dn MFP HP LaserJet Pro 400 color printer will NOT print!

    HP LaserJet Pro 400 color MFP-M475dn-CE863A

    Printer on a network and can connect to multiple computers that include: Mac OS X, Windows 7 and Windows XP.

    When I try to print from my iMac, the print queue of the printer says "the printer is not connected.  When we try to print from Windows computers, it is in the right queue and does not print.  When I go the printer itself and try to print a page of demonstration or page supplies directly to him, it says on the screen which is printed, but nothing happens.  This is not hum or anything!  The port where the network cable is connected is switched on green that says HP which means that the network cable is connected.  We've had this printer for a year now, and something like that never happened.

    I did not have any software or anything like that until this happened.  It was working fine on Saturday when we used it, but when we arrived at work today, he just decided that it would interrupt printing!

    I'm puzzled!  I tried 'ping' IP address of the printer from my iMac and it pings fine.  Does anyone have advice?

    (I tried to make of the obvious like too switch the printer on and off and shutting the computer down and nothing!)

    Okay, so I feel a bit stupid right now.  I decided that I would be closed the printer for about an hour to see if it was there, and what you know-it has been!  I had to turn it off several times before but I guess it wasn't long enough.  What a pain!

    Thanks to everyone who took the time to read this!  Sorry to waste time everyone!

  • LaserJet Pro 400 M451dn: Toner HP Laserjet Pro 400 does not fit

    Probably I'm missing a small detail, but after extensive research and contemplate, I decided to ask here.

    I have a LaserJet Pro 400 M451dn, who came into my office with no toner cartridge at all. We ordered the appropriate cartridges, 305 a (checked on the box of the printer and here on the website of HP), three more black color.

    I opened only the yellow and blue, but not appropriate. In the left and right corners close, there is a piece in the tray of the printer which does not allow to slip into the cartridges. Everything seems correct with regard to the location of the electrical contacts, tabs, etc., but no amount of stirring or twist will allow cartridges to fit in the status bar to which they belong.

    I feel a bit stupid if it's something incredibly simple that I'm missing, but I want to know rather than continue to try my own solutions that do not work.

    Any suggestions?

    I don't know there is a way to get it free. I never looked at the model number on the front of the printer, but I have now. It came on the Pro 400 area (where it fit well), then glanced at, very quick inspection, like the one on the box. I worked on the wrong model of printer. It's actually a CP2025 which, of course, uses different toner.
    I'm sorry to bother you. You probably had something valuable to contribute to the world during the past days dedicated to thinking about my mistake.

  • LaserJet Pro 400 - M475dw, not recognizing USB drive-resolved

    I've been scanning to .pdf on a USB for about 6 months on my LaserJet Pro 400 - M475dw.  All of a sudden, it says "Insert USB Flash drive" whenever I try to scan, even if there is a pre-installed flash drive.

    I tried all 3 USB keys I've already used, more a few others.  I also tried their reformatting.  All to nothing does not.

    Today, I have updated the firmware of the printer to see if it would help - but no.

    Tried to turn it on and out, several times, including leaving them for a few days.

    Has anyone else had this? Did you solve it?

    P.S. This thread has been moved from Laserjet multifunction and all-in-one. -Hp moderator of the Forum

    handsome young man came out today of HP and replaced, the USB port and the Board at the back of the machine, we have proven that the cable was still very good.  BUT it (I was certainly not int eh room right here) was able to break a little different - so that the ordered summer and he will return to replace the fuser unit tomorrow.

    HP were super helpful and REALLY happy with the printer was still under warranty.

    Thank you for your help chaps.

  • LaserJet Pro 400: Watermark not printing on Laserjet Pro 400 on Windows 8

    On the computer of Windows 8, watermark does not print on Laserjet Pro 400 connected by USB. Please note: the function watermark works on other printers not HP, as our networked Ricoh copiers. The printer prints a watermark on a Windows 7 computer. Using the driver package LJM351_M451_Series-12200-drv_installer.

    Very hard to advise without additional evidence (such as samples).

    With my Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit system, I can print watermarks on my LaserJet Pro MFP color 400 M475dn (equivalent of MFP M451) device.

    Attached is a zip container file:

    • Small text in the abcde.txt file that contains the text "abcde".
    • Print file abcde.prn contains the print job generated by opening the text file in Notepad and by printing the document (using the driver of HP LJ300-400 color MFP M375-M475 PCL 6 (61.120.5.12262) UPD version 5.3.0.12262), by specifying the "SAMPLE" watermark with the default settings; exit 'captured' by using the option "print to a file.
    • Text file abcde.prn_analysis.txt contains an analysis of the contents of the print queue.
    • PDF file abcde_scan.pdf shows a scan of the printed output by sending the contents of the direct .prn file to the printer port.

    Try to send the contents of the .prn file direct to your printer port; for USB connect, you must use something like:

    copy  /b  abcde.prn  \\computer-name\share
    

    in a Windows command prompt session, where:

    the computer name is the name of the workstation;

    share is a share of the Windows printer instance name.

    The resultant prints show the watermark of the SAMPLE ?

    If so, then the printer handles the commands to the printer (in this case using PCL XL) OK.

    Can generate something similar to your driver for analysis?

    [You will probably need help moderating to attach files in this forum].
