"The HP LaserJet 1020 has the open front door or the toner cartridge is missing." Not true

I'm going to print something and the troublescreen said: The HP LaserJet 1020 has the open front door or the toner cartridge is missing. But the door is closed and the cartridge is fine. I put a new in after the message started appearing thinking that the low level of ink was casusing the change. I suspect a mechanical switch is kaput, but do not want to enter the machine. All the switches look and feel like they are working normally.

This little machine of love, it's a real workhorse, simple and effective.  I use a laptop Samsung with Windows 7 and my actions joint the printer using a Toshiba PC. We both get the same response from our little hp... todius

I will now let you know that we have done to resolve this.  My wife has stuck a pencil in the slot of reception for the closed cover pin located on the corner left front of the top cover. She shook it until she was able to close the lid and printing. He now works as it always has.

Babe thank you... todius

  • Can I still use the toner cartridge after deposit of 2 and a year and a half?

    I have a HP CE505A toner cartridge model in a sealed box, but the box have a date on it his 20111003 (I think that refers to October 3, 2011). Now my question is if I unseal the box can I still use the toner cartridge (whereas 2 years and a half elapsed from the date on the box), or if I buy another cartridge of toner?

    HP Laserjet toner cartridges are usually not a particular lifecycle or expirary date or end of warranty.

    You can use all your stored correctly with your printer laserjet toner cartridges & most probably you shouldn't find any problems or defects on them, until the cartrdiges are sealed pack & storage, or weather conditions (heat, moisture, and direct light from the Sun) did not cause any damage to the cartrdiges.

  • Canon LBP6000 - cannot communicate with the Toner Cartridge

    I was printing fine with my small laser printer. Today, I printed about 100 pages. I went to print a page more one hour later and it wouldn't print. I went to the screen of the utility and the error message is:

    There may be a communication problem with the toner cartridge

    I can run a cleaning and even print a configuration page. I pushed about 400 pages using the printer so the toner cartridge should be good. Given that I can print a configuration page, which doesn't seem to be the problem.

    I am running Windows XP.

    Removing the drivers and resinstalling them AND connect the USB cable to another outlet seems to have solved the problem.

    Most annoying.

    But resolved.

  • Color LaserJet M277dw: Purchase a new ejection M277dw impossible drawer which allows to change the toner cartridges

    I found a large detachment (M277dw - drawer Toner at corner), and I stopped by Office Depot and looked at their floor model.

    Their floor model tray down (gravity only) and the blue lever allows the toner tray slide.

    My device behavior is different.  Tray (manual feed) must be forced to land (about 3 pounds worth), and I noticed that the drawer tonor dates back to about one-tenth of an inch.  As noted in the other post right has a notch that moves (mine moves like the store model).  And if we try to shoot with the blue of the lever down (right side tab moved and is clear.  "It seems that he should leave the Board move), the left will not come loose.  If one pull with approximately 10-15 kg of force (firm but not crazy hard) I can see the right side to move slightly but not on the left side.  He feels that the left side is stuck. The movement of the drawer Assembly seems a bit odd and may be the reason why try it manual power resisting decline.

    Is there a transport screw that I missed?  Nothing in the instructions to the browsers screw in place.

    Any recommendations?

    I returned the printer m277dw to Office Depot and applied the credit to m477fnw.  A m277dw of replacement was not in stock, and the m477fnw fits my needs better. If this proved to be a win-win for me.  Office Depot requires the original box and the Office Depot a proof of purchase to return (I got both).  Office Depot was not easy to work with.

  • Color LaserJet 2605dn: changing the toner cartridge guaranteed?

    Can someone help me to replace what seems to be a faulty cartridge? I could find absolutely no information on how to do it on HP's Support website to the regular address.

    Q6003A magenta toner cartridge prints very light. Looks pink instead of magenta. This is true even on the 'Page State supplies", which shows the level of toner to 74%: Pages printed with this power supply: 418; Rest of approximate Pages: 1189. I have 'shaken gently"the magenta cartridge without result, and I see no flaws on the drum. 'Cleaning' running mode did not help; He only printed black. The other three cartridges all show them a solid color, so I deduce that there is a problem with the magenta cartridge itself.

    See below. The title and the area around it are supposed to be "Purple"; There should be a (not complete magenta) rose "2605dn" to the right of the printer "HP Color LaserJet.

    Any suggestions as to how to get this replaced would be greatly appreciated.

    You do not have a faulty cartridge, you have a dusty mirror in scanner Assembly laser.

    You will find the instructions on how to disassemble the printer and clean the mirror through various sources online and probably even in the forums.

    The index that identifies your problem is melted magenta from left to right.

    If you decide to take the machine apart and clean the flat mirror handle cables very gently then reconnect the very carefully.

  • all the pages of bad qualities with the toner after replacing the toner cartridge

    I just replaced the old cartridge with a new one, but now the pages come out covered in black toner to make the text unreadable. I tried to turn the drum several times following the directions to distribute the toner evenly, but the problem remains. Please advise?

    Hi, Happytohelp01.

    Thanks for your kind response,

    I use a black and white HP Laserjet 1010.

    I am trying to print a text, the printer does not have a digitization Center.

    Yes, this is the first time that I had no problem with this printer.

    The toner is melted and begins to run out, so I replaced it with a new replacement cartridge I bought the printer about three years ago. Later, I shook and reinstalled the old cartridge, which seems to work very well with no black spots. The new toner would be obsolete?

  • D7360 does not print in "Black Only", unless the color cartridges are also not empty

    I try to print a document in grayscale mode with Photosmart D7360 printer.

    In the Print Setup dialog explicitly checks the possibility of using 'Black Print Cartridge Only'.

    The printer refuses to print, in saying:

    «The following ink cartridges are empty: Light Cyan.» Replace the ink cartridges to resume printing.

    "The printer doesn't have enough ink to ensure printer health. Empty ink cartridges need to be replaced to resume. »

    This means that even if it does not use the color cartridges, each of them must be non-empty when the printer is in operation?

  • HP Color Laserjet MFP m277 Pro: can I put my old toner cartridge to finish?

    I hope it's a simple question.

    We changed the toner Cyan on the printer cartridge until it was over. There was a problem and we thought he meant that the cartridge is empty. The problem turned out to be something else. So now, I have a cartridge that is perhaps used three quarters and a new in printing.

    Question: when the CURRENT one runs out, I can put the previous again in the printer to use, without causing any problems for the printer?

    Thanks for any advice.

    Yes, you can put a Toner Cartridge used back with no problem, the printer may indicate its levels of toner correctly, but it can be used without any problem.

    Kind regards

  • After you have installed the new cartridge HP do not print black ink

    HP Officejet 4620, Windows 7... installed new HP black ink cartridge and now it will not print black at all. I followed all the advice line in the help section, even cleaned the vents on the cartridge itself but shows only the white page. No error message is displayed. Diagnostic ran and says it all works correctly. Also cleaned printheads through 2 cycles still nothing. Any other suggestions? It was working fine before inserting the new black ink cartridge.

    Hi Teresa1960,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see that you are facing some print quality problems on your HP Officejet 4620 you cannot print in black ink.

    You have completed all THE steps listed here: printer does not print black ink or color of ink or prints blank Pages, without success.

    Please note: there are three stages of print head cleaning. Three steps if necessary. If the print head is badly clogged, it may require another round of cleaning. If so, wait 30 minutes after the last step of cleaning (third) to start the first stage of the cleanup process.

    If you are unable to print in black ink, I think that the issue may be the printer and not the cartridge. I highly recommend call you our technical support at the 800-474-6836, I'm sure they will be able to help you regardless of the status of the guarantee.

  • LaserJet 1020: Re-install the roller in LaserJet 1020

    The paper was not trained on my 1020 LaserHet.   I used the instructions in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvPZySVX8Zc - to remove and clean the drive roller.

    I removed the roller and cleaned.  I can't re - install the drive roll.  I made an attempt to re - install the roll, put back ink cartridge and print a sample page.  The printer makes a mechanical sound hard, so I stoppped printing.

    I'm trying to identify the problem.  I noticed that before I removed the roller, the small tabs of white on each side of the roll are found above the rotating metal bar that holds the roller.

    Now, the tabs are lower.

    I can't put the circular and rectangular holes on the roll in place to install correctly.  (I guess I don't align properly when I tried first to re - install them.)

    Any ideas on what I can do to fix this and re-stable roll?

    Thank you

    Barbara

    cycle power on the printer once and I hope that the pick up Assembly turn the roller in the right position.

    TO replace the turn off the printer and unplug unit, then remove the toner cartridge, you can manually rotate the roll holder around the right position.

    try turning off the printer one some time first of all, it should get back in the right position

  • My printer HP LaserJet 1536dnf printer prints black pages after replacing the toner with a new one!

    I changed the toner cartridge for my printer HP LaserJet 1536dnf with a genuine HP toner cartridge and now it's printing the pages in black.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Thank you!

    Hi @Beaglemom49779,.

    I see by your post that you have replaced the toner and now get all black pages. I can help you with this.

    Have you had the same problem with the printer before replacing the toner?

    It could be a hardware or with the printer fuser problem.

    If the problem started just after replacing the toner then most likely, the toner.

    Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector)

    Number one cause of problems with toner.

    Check if the drum unit for damage:

    1. remove the cartridge of toner product and check that the tape has been removed.
    2. check the memory chip for damage.
    3 examine the surface of the imaging drum on the bottom of the toner cartridge.
    CAUTION: Do not touch the roller (Imaging drum) on the bottom of the cartridge.

    His fingerprints on the imaging drum can cause print quality problems.
    4. If you see the scratches, fingerprints, black on the drum, or any other damage on the imaging drum, replace toner.
    5. If the imaging drum does not appear to be damaged, rock the toner cartridge gently several times and reinstall it. Print a few pages to see if the problem is resolved.

  • Quality of rpint HP Laserjet color faded to the right of the page, toner cartridge the culprit

    Thus, a resolute quirk.

    My HP Laserjet 3800dtn produced pages in which the colors are washed out or did not go to the right margin.  Various associated software HP print diagnostic and diagnostics pages feel integrated, product pages with the same problem.  The colors on the right do not appear, but the black characters, text, graphic appears.

    At first, I thought it was the length of the USB cable, so I went to an Ethernet connection and run all the tests again and got the same results.

    So I took one of the toner cartridges and replaced by a new.  The same problem.  Then, and what a weird coincidence, I discovered that there are two somewhat 'heavy duty' springs on each side of the toner cartridge that works with the door (shadow) on the roller.   One of the springs was detached.  But it just not a not dislodge, because the position whereby the spring attached (a little nub) is broken.

    My conclusion is that the door opened only partially, and therefore the toner is never properly transferred to one side.

    Maybe I broke the node with some brutal manipulations, maybe a new one was defective, that it is I got two defective cartridges.

    However, not wanting to throw a + $100 cartridge, I stuck the spring and post and allowed him to dry overnight.

    Reinserted the fixed cartridge and everything of fine.

    Just sharing.

    An update more.

    Among the repaired 'bumps' failed.

    So I heated a thin nail, and he passed through the plastic in the area where the 'essential' existed.

    The, using fine wires, I threaded the wire through the hole of very small diameter and attached to spring for the plastic.

    Yes, success... another cartridge saved from an ignominious early elimination.
