I’ve found out what was going wrong. Or at least five found out what was going wrong on the iPad, but I expect that the same solution will work on the other OSs. I had assumed that leaving the media type as “auto select“ would mean that “plain paper“ would be selected, because nothing is more...

I got some new toner cartridges of much better quality than the old ones, but I am still having this problem. I printed the colour test page from printertesting.com and the prints were pretty well indistinguishable between Android and the iPad I used to compare it with. However, when I printed...

I printed the colour test print from printertesting.com, firstly from the iPad and then from the Android phone, and I cannot tell the difference between the two. However, I do notice that the mid greys look a bit washed out and bluish in both prints. But I still don’t understand why the other...

I bought a used Color Laserjet Pro M254DW yesterday. I know that the toner cartridges are no good because of uneven, washed-out colour, smudges of colour on white areas, etc. However, before I invest good money in buying good quality cartridges, there is something else odd that I noticed that I...

My iP7250 no longer prints. When I try to print, I get two pairs of orange and white flashes, which apparently means that there is either a paper jam or the carriage is obstructed. There is no paper jam, but I have noticed that when I look at the carriage after the error code is displayed, it is...

If you only need a PC for something like that, then why not just run Windows in a virtual machine on your Mac, giving the virtual machine access to your USB ports? I would recommend the free version of VMWare for this (because VirtualBox is very frustrating to use). As for where to get Windows...

When I start up my iP7250 it makes lots of noises it shouldn't and then flashes the following light sequence: orange white orange white orange white, with the last white being prolonged. What does this mean?
