P1005: Incompatible printer power button

I love my HP P1005 printer, but lately, the power button does not turn it until I have tap several times, sometimes in angling of my pressure upwards, downwards or sideways.  Still, it lights up eventually and stays on until closing down.  Is there a way to fix this?

Hi @Breezer,

I can understand how frustrating, it would be for you. Looks like there is a short circuit in the power button connection or a lack of power in general.

I would like to do a hard reset to see if that will solve the problem.

  • Let the printer and disconnect the printer cable and the wall socket for 60 seconds.
  • Reconnect the power cable to the output of the printer and the wall, and not a surge protector. This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.
  • Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector) This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

If you have completed the previous steps and your product still has a problem, service the product.

  • HP PSC 1510 all in one printer power button flashing key.

    The power button flashes. No other lights are on.  I can not turn off the printer.

    Hello Laureldawn,

    I see this is your first visit with us here on the Forums of HP. Please, let me take a moment to say 'Welcome. '

    I have some suggestions that we can try when troubleshooting flashing lights on the printer.

    First of all, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and NOT a bar/power strip.

    Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer for example, but it is intended to be used by HP products in general.  This document explains the problems when connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power.

    Another step we can try is the document the Treaty of lights flash.

    Please let me know whether or not these measures have helped.

    If I don't hear from you today, I hope you have a great Wednesday.

    See you soon,.

  • P1102 - why I have to press the power button before printing

    Hello

    I was wondering if anyone else knows how to avoid this problem. We have a P1102 connected via USB on Win 7 64 bit.

    Is there a setting somewhere that allows us to not have to press the power button on the printer before printing. It is now connected to the pc. The pc is turned off at night.

    It is very annoying to have to push the button before printing. This may sound trivial, but our old Hp laserjet 1100, only has been replaced with this P1102 as the new pc have no place for a parallel port card, and you never had to press the power button before printing with that, this feels like a step and is very disappointing.

    Thanks in advance.

    It seems that the printer software is not save the auto power off feature is set to never.  I would definitely try update the internal firmware of the printer to see if updating automatic stop is set to never work.

    Click here to access the download page for the Laserjet Firmwares.  Select the P1100 series in the drop-down list.

    This should be done so that a USB cable to connect the printer and the PC.  I would like to know if the firmware is able to get the printer to stay alive.

  • Incompatible print cartridge error C309g.

    Incompatible print cartridge error C309g. When replacing foul 564 XL (black), now I get this message. The new cartridge works in another printer that uses 564 XL. Went ahead and tried another brand new 564 XL - same message. Have turned printer on and outside. Is there a way to reoot, clean or otherwise set the printer before assuming it's really broken? Other suggestions?

    UPDATE: this has been resolved with a hard reset. I found how to do this in another post (thanks bassergitz!). How to do a hard reset or 'dirty power up': when the printer is on, pull on the power cord to the printer and the wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to the wall and printer. It will take several minutes to initialize.

  • HP Deskjet F4280: power button flashes f4280 error

    I just replaced the two cartrigades of ink. Now it gives me the letter E of the number of copy of task and the power button blinks green. It will not print and I removed the device and reinstalled, off the and disconnected. Still nothing has changed. Can someone help me with this problem? Please, I beg you.

    It seems that the printer can be stuck to the execution of a maintenance task, according to this: LINK

    I would make sure that the front access door and the cartridge access door are securely closed, or perform a hard reset. These steps are part of the Solution to the "issue: the power LED flashes" section.

    If these steps do not erase the error, you can contact HP technical support. Please let me know if it helps.

  • HP Officejet 1510: HP Officejet 1510 stops Middle Print with button / stop blinking always

    I just bought this printer and I don't know what is happening. The first time I printed something (8 pages) days ago and it printed perfectly without any problems. This time, when I tried to print 6 pages (this printer connects via the USB port on my computer) it has started printing, but after it printed 1/4 first page, he stopped and just sat there. The light was still flashing. Finally he spits out paper with just 1/4 of printed page and didn't even start the following study through the diet. When I watched the queue of the printer on my computer, it seemed that demand was still online, marked as impression. I tried to print one page at a time and it actually worked for a few pages! It their print perfectly with zero problems. Then when I tried to print page 4 by itself, it got stuck once more, after 1/4 of the page prints.

    I did a test print (hold down the power button / stop and the Cancel button) and it printed fine. Does anyone have an idea why I have a problem and how to prevent it?

    Thank you!

    Welcome to the HP community @md1137!

    I understand that you are facing a printing problem with your Windows XP system that prints to your Deskjet 1510. I hope I can help! For me, the issue you describe sounds like a driver problem.

    I would say first of all that is running the print and scan doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for all conflicts that may be causing the problem. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there is a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results.

    If the problem continues, go to the Control Panel uninstalling the printer software , restart the PC, then download and reinstall the driver to feature full here: e-all-in-one HP Deskjet 1510 Printer series full feature software and drivers

    Try to print again, and the problem should be solved, fingers crossed!

  • Power button option-market problem / stop setting

    Current running Windows 7 Home Premium on an HP desktop with a 3.20 Ghz processor and 8 GB of RAM.

    My Tower sits at the bottom of a carriage of the printer beside my desk.  I have the option of high power performance put and I changed my eating and sleep button options to do nothing to keep my toddler son to turn off the computer.  But the power button restarts or shuts down the computer.  How can I stop this from happening?  Is it possible to completely disable the power button all together?

    If you are talking about the power on the screen button (on the start menu), and then if you upgrade to Windows Professional Edition, you can disable it by using the system policy settings (this is how large companies lock their settings so that employees cannot close their computers or such... it is also used for kiosks where you do not want the public to have access to the switch).

    If you mean the real power on the computer tower - no button, you cannot disable it from stopping in case of holding.  It is the substitution of failsafe, where the computer cannot meet the close one-touch command.  The only option it is locked, or open the case and disconnect the cable (which could mean that you can no longer turn on the computer).

    There may be a problem with the power supply/power cord module brick.  Try following the steps described in this document.  If that does not receive the printer works properly again, you can try to contact tech support to buy a new power module (if still available), or you need to replace the printer.  You can join the 1-800-474-6836 technical support to the United States and the Canada International users click here.  Let me know what happens.
