Would someone please clarify something for me. I recently repaired an MF217w. What puzzles me is that the page counter read: "74" after, I'm guessing at least a few thousand pages were printed in total. I know most lasers have a reset function, but I thought that was generally intended for...

I found one of these printers at the curb, and would like to fix it up to help someone going through a hard time Don't ask me how, but the previous owner managed to get some sort of dirt/stain under the platen. So I'd need to disassemble the scanner at least enough to get at the glass. Also...

I thought this (black plastic) part and the stuff attached to it was the scanner assembly. However, Googling shows a very different looking part for the scanner assembly for a LJ3330.

I want to clean the nozzles/head on my Stylus Color 1400. It's been a long time since I did any nozzel/head cleaning, and that was on another printer. Back then, we could use the Windex with ammonia formulation and alcohol. However, the original Windex with ammonia formulation is no longer...

Hi all: I have acquired a Stylus Photo 1400. The ink button is flashing red, indicating ink needs replacing. Will this error clear and will I be able to print black if I just replace the black cartridge, or do I have to replace all the ones that are low/empty? Again, I only need to print black...

Hi all: I came across a Brother DCP-7060D. The page count is about 6500 pages. It has two problems. The first problem is that it prints from the manual feed tray, but not from the main cassette. When I try to print from the cassette, I hear what sounds like rollers moving and it sounds like...

Hi everyone: I have an HP CP2025 that is still not picking up paper even after replacing the pickup rollers and separation pads. Apparently, it's due to a solenoid which gets stick from the padding eventually wearing. You can just put paper in between the solenoid tab and the solenoid, but I'm...

Hi: I just received a Brother 2840 laser fax. It was never used, but appears to have been damaged in shipping. Attached are some photos of the damage (as far as I found). From what I can tell, damage was mostly related to a part of the bottom, as it seems to have come apart/delaminated from...

Hi everyone: I have a couple of printers I'm checking out here. I always wondered, are there common key combinations for printing self-test pages on MFCs/laser printers/laser faxes? I just contacted Brother, who by the way have discontinued all phone support. A Brother support rep on Live Chat...

Hi everyone: My cousin works in healthcare. She's not allowed to use any type of scanner that goes to her computer due to healthcare regulations. Her old film-based Sharp is dying and not worth fixing. Now, my cousin needs something laser-based that uses plain paper. She needs something really...

Hi everyone: My elderly Mom has a Canon printer/scanner/copier. I believe it's a D560, but if could be a D530. Sorry, my photo is a bit blurry. Acc. to my sister, the ADF never worked properly on this printer from the day we got it for Mom. No one ever told me (the tech. guy in the family)...

Hi everyone: I'm working with a charity to whom I've offered a Laserjet 2100TN. They asked for USB, in spite of the lovely ethernet interface functionality. Since the LJ2100 series doesn't have a USB interface, I wondered if could take some interface card from a 2200 series and install it in...

Hi: I have 6 used CLI-8 cartridges in the Toronto area. Can anyone use these?

Hi: I recently had paper jam errors with my Imageclass D1350. I replaced the cassette pickup roller and separation pad, and that fixed the jam problem nicely. However, since I did that, the copier is now making a sort of pulsed grinding noise "Hem Hem HEm" when it starts up and whenever...

Hi everyone: Well, this is embarrasing. After you all kindly advised me on my new (used) acquisition of an IP6600D with apparently minimal mileage on it, just last week in this thread... https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/please-help-interpret-this-ip6700-eeprom-print-test.11632/ I just...

Hi everyone: Just started troubleshooting and working with inkjets a few weeks ago, so semi-newbie here. Would like to buy a used Pixma IP6600 someone I know is selling. He provided an eeprom print page, but I'm confused by the unusual results. A few things that confuse me: TPAGE=00000...

Hi everyone: I'm new here. Looks like a friendly place. I used to be an IT tech, but not with printers. That being said, I have done some minor repairs, like rollers, separation pads, and etc. I have an OfficeJet 8600 pro here which I found at the curb. The display shows the "Ink system...
