HP Laserjet P2015: Is my printer's fuser failing?

Thu, 18 Feb 2021 20:31:25 -0700

I am troubleshooting a HP Laserjet P2015 printer. It is using an aftermarket toner cartridge. I purchased the unit used and have been able to use it with no problems for the last year.

Recently, when I print something, I can take my finger and smudge the ink on the paper. The toner flakes off very easily, even with documents printed days ago. I have tried different paper, but I haven't tried a different toner cart. I don't want to invest in a new toner cart only to find I have the same issue and wasted the money. My current toner cart has worked fine without issue for close to a year. It is about half full. I have removed it from the printer, cleared the paper path, and shaken the toner cart gently over a waste basket to ensure that the toner is settling evenly.

My first guess is that the fuser is starting to fail. If the unit is not getting hot enough, it wouldn't make the toner adhere to the paper properly during printing. Has anyone else experienced this issue with a similar model HP laser printer? If it is the fuser, I need to determine if it's worth investing in the parts to fix or a replacement fuser piece, or just buying a new printer. My investment limit is $50. Beyond that and I will use another printer and look for a suitable replacement.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

HP Laserjet 1200 Laser Printer: My faithful Laserjet 1200 printer will no longer print.

Sun, 27 Sep 2020 20:27:45 -0700

My printer was working perfectly. All of a sudden, when I try to print, the small green light on the upper left goes on for a few seconds, then reverts to yellow blinking. I have restarted it to no avail. I have checked to be sure that there is no paper stuck anywhere.

I love this printer. It has been my workhorse for many years. Can you please tell me what I should check or do? I feel like a good friend is in intensive care.

Thanks for your help,

Margo Smith

The ADF(automatic document feeder) will not pick up paper, either a single sheet or multiple sheets. HP and my extended warranty says it can't be fixed, printer is only a bit over one year old. Anyone know if a ADF unit is available?

HP LaserJet: What is causing Paper Jam Tray 1 or Tray 2 but is none

Tue, 01 Aug 2023 19:02:59 -0700

Laserjet 2300dtn, every attempt to print or test paper path gives jam error. Pickup rollers do not move at all. Cleaned and repaired "sticky" solenoids. Verified no broken gears or shafts. Everything sounds good and moves on startup except pickup rollers and comes up ready. Attempt to print throws 13.01.00. New Toner cart, verified no residual paper in path. Where to look or whats wrong? Thanks in advance.

LaserJet Pro 400 M401: Duplexing jams every time

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 10:25:02 -0700

I have about 70 of these HP M401dn printers in K12 classrooms. Most of them are tanks and just keep going. But I have about 5 of them (and growing) that jam every time the user attempts to duplex. It SEEMS like this was caused by trying to duplex 120lb card stock; I was probably the first to try it and "break" my printer but I've had others repeat the mistake.

I don't want to give up on these printers. How do I stop the duplexed prints from jamming?
