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 P2015 no longer prints over the network but does work when using a USB cable.

I have put the HP LaserJet P2015 on a different network, managed to install it on a PC and Mac but it still won't print. Any ideas ?

HP Laserjet P2015: Why does my HP Laserjet P2015dn printer not print?

When I go to print via my HP P2015dn I get the message "printer is offline." I've reset the printer preferences several times and my printer then works — but only once! Then it again gives me the "printer is offline." My connection is a USB printer cable.

HP Laserjet P2015: Print Have Not Clear

Thu, 26 Sep 2024 21:03:33 -0700

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your printer. There could be a number of reasons why your prints are turning out poorly. Have you checked to make sure that your ink or toner levels are sufficient? You may also want to try cleaning the print heads to see if that helps improve the quality of your prints. If the issue persists, it may be a good idea to contact the manufacturer for further assistance or consider taking it to a professional printer repair shop.

HP Laserjet P2015: Jam light always on

Fri, 10 Sep 2021 21:39:57 -0700

Hi,

Jam light is always on, and i cant print

i have open every single port and tray and there is no sign of paper jam...

i have pressed the test switch, below the formatter card and printed one page with horizontal lines (engine test) ... that means that i have to change the formatter card?

any other way? because it's an old printer and the formatter card is too expensive.

this is where i find out about the test switch: http://www.laserpros.com/tech_tip_p2015....
