Epson L310: How to fix the photocopy and scan button?

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 18:56:25 -0700

The photocopy button can still be press but it's not functioning anymore. I think it's the wire connecting is the problem. And also, the scan button. It's not functioning too.

Epson XP-200: Nelze komunikovat se skenerem

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 01:14:46 -0700

Po zapnutí xp 205 se po chvíli rozsvítí trvale zeleně wifi ale tlačítko napájení bliká. Za další krátkou dobu se rozblikají všechny kontrolky. Zajímavé je, že při tomto stavu lze bez problému tisknout ale nikoliv skenovat - hláška nelze komunikovat se skenerem.

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!

Canon pixma TS3122: Paper won't feed

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 17:52:08 -0700

Everything works...process completes but paper does not feed to be printed. The process moves all the way through except for feeding the paper to be printed on. Ink cartridges move into place, the paper feed turns on, but paper does not advance, the i can hear it printing.

Epson Printer: Epson ET-3958 issues a blank sheet of paper before printing

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 00:07:36 -0700

Epson ET-3958 issues a blank sheet of paper before actually printing the document I routed to the printer. No idea why it does this, and although I can put the blank page back in the printer, I'd rather this didn't happen. Any thoughts?

Epson Printer: Epson PX650 printer head overheating message, etc

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 02:15:47 -0700

Hello, I have three Epson PX650s in various states of repair. (I like these printers better than the models which replaced them). OK, printer 1 is the "most" working - this prints perfectly fine in normal mode, but in high quality mode, or CD print, it makes a grinding noise and jams. Also scanning is noisy. Printer 2 was working OK until recently, now suddenly showing a "print head overheating" message. Printer 3 is the most dead -this comes up with an error message as soon as the power is turned on, just gives one click then stalls. I'm perfectly happy to spend some time taking them apart and have the instructions and the diagnosing program. What would the experts' advice be? To replace printer 2's head with one from 1 or 3? Or to replace 1's mechanical parts from one of the others? Or is 3's start-up problem likely to be something simple? Any advice appreciated. Thanks, MD. (PS - it seems to be a kind of tribute to this model that they are now selling on eBay for more than they were when sold new!)

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?

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 09:37:01 -0700

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.
