HP Printer: HP LaserJet P3005dn: Repeatedly error 13.02.00 (jam in top cover area)

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 11:30:10 -0700

Hi there!

I have a LaserJet P3005dn which I am very happy with. A few weeks ago, however, it started jamming and jamming frequently. About every three to five pages it jams in the printer with the message 13.02.00 (jam in top cover area). I clear it by removing the toner, removing the paper, then continuing.

One clue what is happening is this: Right as it jams an empty paper is ejected (about halfways, usually) while another empty paper is stuck inside.

I have the service manual but really do not know where to start, i.e., what is the most likely cause here and what should I check first? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

HP Deskjet F4480: Was working fine but stopped after MacOS reinstall and update

Sat, 07 Mar 2026 01:58:16 -0700

Printer and Scanner was perfectly OK under Mac's HiSierra (10.13.6) native driver, including viewing the Print Queue, Options and Supplies.

After a system crash, I had to format the HD and reinstall the OS, updated to Monterey (12.7.6). The system normally shows the printer under Printers & Scanners, status as idle and responds to at Cmd-P. It presents the print preview and proceeds after clicking PRINT: it goes to BUSY, shows the printing process flow, the printer icon temporarily shows into the dock, then returns to IDLE and finishes … without any print, though.

A pdf is generated if a print-on-file is requested.

It's like Monterey's driver no longer works with the DJ F44080, however there's no error message. The process completes “normally” but the printer just does nothing, no response.

Unfortunately, hp no longer supports this perfectly functional printer and removed all references to it from their site.

Any hints as of what to do? Any alternative functional driver recommended?

Thanks a lot in advance.

PS: the printer hardware still makes a copy autonomously.

HP LaserJet CM1415fnw: New cartridge does not work - transport lock

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 02:08:20 -0700

I have this old, but decent printer and my ink was almost out. So I took a new cartridge (I have 2 originals stil in closed package) and removed the orange transport locks and shuffled the cartridge.
After putting it in, I get the error remove transport lock (or shipping locks, I don't know the exact word, my printer has Dutch language).
And I can't figure out what I can do to fix this. I swapped the chips from the old and the new, same result. And the old still works, but very bad prints since ink is almost out. I tried the other new one, same result.
Any ideas?

HP Officejet 6500: How to set the service station timing?

I have several of these printers that have been disassembled. The service station gear was replaced however the timing on the assembly appears to be off. Is there a procedure for setting the timing? When the printer is turned on, the clutch gear gets stripped attempting to move the printhead cleaning mechanism.

HP Photosmart Plus B210a: “The printer is printing a blank page with a new cartridge

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 13:05:54 -0700

I purchased third-party cartridges that are listed as compatible with my printer. Upon installation, the printer displayed a warning indicating that non-HP cartridges were installed. Although I am now able to bypass this warning when all cartridges are installed, the printer continues to print blank pages.

I have tested multiple cartridges, run the printhead cleaning cycle many times, and attempted additional troubleshooting, but the issue persists.

HP LaserJet: My HP LaserJet 1010 printer keeps the paper roller running when it is

Wed, 07 Jan 2026 20:24:34 -0700

My HP LaserJet 1010 printer's paper feed roller keeps spinning when I turn it on. If I turn the printer off and then back on, it works normally and does not show any device error. I don't know what is causing the problem or how to repair it.

HP laserjet 4L: Why is my page smeared black after a paper jam in a laserjet 4L

Fri, 26 Dec 2025 03:45:21 -0700

An HP LaserJet 4L had a paper jam which was cleared by pulling out the sheet by the owner. Subsequent sheets however showed irregular variable black horizontal smudges with the test page text only just visible. A new cartridge didn't help.

I have taken the printer to pieces and cleaned surfaces and contacts, replaced 4 capacitors on the dc controller PCA (high esr), but the problem persists. Similar results with engine test.

Other things I have tried:

Removing the 45deg mirror to show that it was the laser causing the blackness. Yes, it did remove the blackness, but putting the mirror back did not bring back the blackness until a day or so later ( I did try to keep everything as dark as possible).

Another inconsistency was that after a rest of several hours, I found the text of the test page was not initially visible within the blackness, but was visible on the second and subsequent attempts.

Also noticed that the text repeats itself at 75mm (circumference of drum?) suggesting the image on the drum is not being erased.

My assumption is that it's the high voltage power supply that is failing and giving inconsistent results and has nothing to do with the original paper jam. How do I repair the HVPS, as I can't buy a new one.

Images show my printout and what it should look like.

HP Deskjet 2600: Old wifi doesnt exist. How do I connect my printer to a new wifi?

Sat, 06 Dec 2025 08:07:36 -0700

My printer is trying to connect to a wifi that no longer exists. When I hold the wifi and cancel button for 3,5,10 seconds nothing changes with the lights. lights are flashing, the blue wifi one goes just over half the speed of the white power flashing light. i turned it off on the button, then on again, not just the white light flashes with a '0' on the screen, every other animation has gone.

HP Envy 7640: What is blocking the Photo tray when I want to print using normal tray

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 11:06:48 -0700

Photo tray is in proper place but once I hit print using normal tray, it clicks and stops, then printer stops and produces error message about Photo Tray Problem. It is riding freely and I definitely in place per HP fixit page. I'm not trying to print photos, just normal print/copy from regular tray. "The photo tray is blocked.
