Samsung Printer: Why does my printer suddenly says the toner is not compatible?

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 14:57:55 -0700

I've been using my Samsung SCX 340 printer for a year and half and last week, it stopped printing.

I got this error message : "Not Compatible Toner cartridge" whereas I had been using the toner cartridge for a while already but it wasn't empty.

Do you know what could have gone wrong?

Many thanks,

Estelle

Samsung ML2510: Picks up a second sheet of paper and jams

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 12:03:26 -0700

The printer regularly picks up a second sheet of paper which causes a jam. I have fitted a new roller which doesn't help at all and cleaned everything visible. This happens both with the bottom feeder tray and the manual sheet feeder. It's getting worse, so that now it even does it on a single page job. Printer has done a total of 10k pages and 500 odd on the current cartridge.

Samsung ML2510: Printer is spinning and not accepting paper.

Thu, 25 Feb 2021 16:23:37 -0700

This printer is a work horse. Love it.

I haven't used the machine for over a year because each time I print, the paper just sits there and the machine wheels seems to spin and then nothing is going.

Please help.

Samsung CLP-300: Printer will not draw paper - loud repetitive knocking sound occurs.

Thu, 30 Apr 2020 18:42:01 -0700

When I first switch on the printer the warm-up proceeds to the green light.

As soon as I send a print from my PC, I hear a loud, repetitive knocking sound like something slipping. The red warning light comes on and my printer won't continue with printing.

Samsung C410: Imaging Drum reset?

Sun, 26 Oct 2025 20:41:04 -0700

I have the xpress C410W laser printer. I have a model that does not have the resistor clipped into the front of drum unit. I have a plug in board located under cover on front door. I want to reset the drum as it’s in perfect condition, I purchased resistors but have no where to put them. This board that connects to the prongs that make contact with toner cartridges does this contain the resistor for the drum too? And what can I do to reset this drum?

Samsung Printer: Samsung CLP300 laser printer does not take paper I have to help it

Thu, 14 Jul 2022 21:56:09 -0700

Hello,

I have a clp300 printer that is almost new. I use it for few pages/month.

Unfortunately the printer does not take the paper sheet from the paper tray.

I can improve the situation in two ways:

1) opening and closing again rear door sometimes solves the problem but for few sheets.

2) if I "help" the printer pushing the sheet with my hand it always take it and print it.

It seems a problem of the first stage of the sheet input.

What can I do?

Thanks,

Mario

Samsung Printer: Why is the paper coming out all black?

Wed, 25 Nov 2020 06:26:35 -0700

Every time I print now, the paper comes out half black so that I can't read the doc. Was working fine until now but very frustrating. I am wondering if the machine can be fixed or do I need to replace it?

Thanks

Samsung Printer: Ink smudges from Samsung laser printer?

Mon, 23 Jul 2018 11:18:46 -0700

My 4 yr old Samsung CLX 3175 laser printer leaves ink smudges. Sometiomes the effect is as if wet ink sheets were stacked up and rubbed off, often there are also yellow curved smudges, usually in 3 separate spots fairly evenly spaced in a row. I have wiped everything clean that I can reach internally. Any suggestions?

Samsung Printer: Samsung Xpress M2825ND stopped after blackout

Wed, 01 Sep 2021 05:39:04 -0700

Hi everyone, I have a Samsung Xpress M2825ND printer that stopped working after several blackouts. In particular, when I connect it to the mains and go to press the ON button, it does not make the classic heating noise of the fuser but turns on all the LEDs on the control panel. It appears that the printer is in protection. To turn it off, I have to unplug it from the mains.

Searching the internet I noticed that this printer has produced the same problem for many other people as well, but I could not find a solution.

Do any of you have experiences on this?

I have not yet proceeded to disassemble and test the circuit. In case I should proceed, what do you advise me to check?

Thank you.

Samsung CLX-3175FN: My Samsung CLX-3175FN jams every time I try to print a job

Thu, 19 May 2022 19:10:29 -0700

''I just acquired this samsung laser printer from my dad. He had problems with it in the past jamming when ever he would try to print on label paper. He was about to junk it when I said I would try to get it back to a usable state.

Sure enough, when i got it home and tried printing on REGULAR paper, it jammed, then it jammed again and again.

After opening the front door (to the toners) then closing the door, it would eventually expel the paper without me having to pull it out. Each time I would have to do this to expel the paper, It was never completed printed either. Only half the image would print as it wasn't getting past the toners completely...is my guess..

Is this an easy fix...or should i take it to a repair company?

Please help!

Samsung Printer: Reset WPS Pin Manually

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 06:40:01 -0700

A hacker was able to access the WPS pin for my Samsung XPress C1860FW, connect it to a remote network and denied me permissions to reconnect and print either offline or online. Now, I cannot access the LDC touch display because I do not have permission. I paid a network specialist but he was unable to reset the WPS pin. I cannot do that without access to the LDC display. Suggestions?

Samsung Printer: paper feed rollers out of adjustment?

Sat, 13 Jan 2024 15:16:53 -0700

My Samsung laser color printer CLP 600N gives me a 'paper jam' error but there is no paper jam. In researching I ran across a blurb about always gently/easily pulling paper out of a printer when it jams be/c if you yank it out you can mis-align the rollers. The error message started after I cleared a jam by jerking the paper out of the rollers. Anyone know how to re-align these rollers?

Samsung Printer: Samsung C1860 is tinting everything yellow.

Tue, 12 May 2020 05:47:15 -0700

I have had my Samsung C1860 MFC Printer for about a year now. Recently I have noticed degradation in print quality and of late everything I print is tinted yellow. So blues are green, reds are orange/red and black are... I am not sure what color you call that but it is not black. I printed a test page from Windows 10 to make sure it wasn't the program I was using to print and it isn't its the printer.
