Ok, so I know what's happening now. The printer is slowing down as it approches the end of the run. 1. Runs normal full speed. 2. Waits for paper to pass fuser before taking up new sheet 3. Waits for paper to exit completely before taking up new sheet. Anyone know why?

I'm doing runs of over 30x A6 index cards (152x102mm), but the printer seems to be going at a snail's pace - and since I have to do manual duplexing, it takes double the time! The printer runs at half speed, like it would when selecting High Quality in the print menu. This is noticable, since...

I bought a Dell 2330DN with the toner and drum on eBay for £30 (including postage!). So far it's been great: it has a resolution of 1200dpi, auto-duplex, networking and dual paper inputs. Only criticism is the inital page curl after the paper emerges from the printer, and the first printer I was...

I've had problems with toner smudges before, and the first thing I recommend is looking inside to see if any toner has been spilt inside. In my case, moving the printer around had left toner inside the machine. The paper picked up toner from the roller wheels and the paper guide, leaving ugly...

Fixed! So I thought I'd take a break from revising and tear down this printer to find the problem. It turns out that the gear wheel connecting the toner drum to the main driver motor had slipped, meaning that the drum wasn't pulling the paper through - causing the jam! I've attached some tear...

Thanks! I will let you know.

I'll get to work on cleaning the rollers tomorrow. I may even dissassemble the whole thing to look for problems after my exams finish. If that fails I'll try messing with the firmware and transplant the fuser to my working printer (65% compared to 90%). I'm not going to give in too quickly...

I had a look through those results, and although the Lexmark and Dell appear similar, the Dell doesn't have a function for disabling jam detection. I've also been using A4 sheets, too, so I doubt narrow media is causing issues. The above is a diagram of the paper path, the paper stops just...

I tested all the sensors and they work fine. So it is a mystery to me as to why I keep getting the 201.02 error, described in the service manual as meaning "Exit sensor never made by leading edge of page. Also known as internal jam. Remove the PC kit and paper or debris at the input sensor." The...

Brilliant, thanks! I was able to install the firmware you found without a problem, and then the latest firmware on top of that. Thing is, I've discovered that the printer which I thought had upgraded actually hadn't. Both times upgrading the faulty printer, it showed on the LCD which sub-systems...

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I don't have an older copy of the firmware available, as it seemed the first and last 2330dn firmware release was in 2013 to fix a bug. I've searched beyond the Google's first page, and even looked on the Wayback Machine but it didn't have the pages archived...

I bought a Dell 2330DN and when I first used it, it repeatedly gave a jam error despite being no jam. This was the first sign that something was wrong with this printer. I downloaded the service manual and checked all the connections to the controller board are correct and blew compressed air...

Many thanks for the replies. I actually received the printer from Freecycle and thought it was well worth investing in. The previous owners had many years of good use on it. I bought the head with a credit card, and in the UK we have protection laws, so I'll get my money back hopefully. I'm...

Hi all, I recently bought a 'new' and 'genuine' print head for a Canon MP780 from Ebay and fitted it. Listing here: https://is.gd/IOHpUt The printer recognised the head without error. I went to put in the ink cartridges I'd refilled and the printer accepted it and began auto-alignment. However...
