    Toner Smudging on Page

    it is not a finger print, because it would not be all the way down the page. To answer your question, I would not suggest trying to fix the cartridge. It sounds like the wiper blades are failing, and all you can do is replace the wiper blade, but it proably is not worth it. If you are buying...

    Toner Specks - HP 5000gn

    Are the specks completly random, if so you may need to clean out the printer. You can use a shop vac for this if you have one. Do not use a normal vaccum. If they are showing up a certain distance apart it could be the cartridge. Have you tried another carrtidge? Donald Broda Vice...

I have experienced this problem before but do not have a printer in fornt of me, so I am sorry that I can not be more exact. You may have to break off...

    HP LJ 4300 - Error on Compatible Toner

    No, once the cartridge is done the chip is shorted out. I have never seen that error before, but does sound like the cartridge. I would suggest a new vendor for your cartridges if you have the option, I do not know what they are doing to cause this error, but I do not think it is the chip...

    HP 8550 does not recognise that toner catridges are installed

    The leaking toner may be covering the sensor that detects the cartridges, you can try wiping it with a lint free cloth or vaccuming with a shop vac with a hepa filter if you have one. This is cheaper than a toner vaccum and works. Donald Broda Vice President www.brtoner.com

    HP 4550 Vertical Black lines

    proably is not the drum. If it was the drum it should appear at the same spot on the page everytime. Is the band always black? If it is I would try replacing the black cartridge, it could be leaking. Donald Broda Vice President www.brtoner.com

    HP LaserJet 4200 fuzzy

    You should get a message on the printer when it needs a maintence kit, but these are not accurate because they are based on pages, and if you print over the monthly duty cycle they will wear out faster. Do you know how many pages you have on the printer? Donald Broda Vice President www.brtoner.com

    "error printing" message in q, so i have to turn the printer on & off

    I know that in some circumstances reinstalling the driver helps. Also, it may be that the memory in the printer has something stuck in it, try unplugging the printer, not just turning off, for twenty minutes, this should clear the memory if their is anything corrupted in there. Donald Broda...

    any HP 1010 users out there?

    I have never heard of this, and I have several customers with this machine, in fact it is the machine I use. It must be the humidty that causes it. The fuser is very hot in this machine because of the speed, but I did not know that it could produce steam, thanks for the heads up. Donald...

    HP 8150 prints halfway down the page.

    is the page blank vertically or horizontally. it half of it is blank horizontally (landscape) then it might be the cartridge because the 8250 feeds paper that way. You may be out of toner, or their may be a defect in the cartridge. Donald Broda Senior techncian specialist www.brtoner.com...

    Toner cartridges

    The FX2 will not work, same engine, but the plastic shells are different. The shelf life depends on the coponetws used. Usaully they should work for two to three years. Donald Broda Vice President www.brtoner.com

    Laserjet 2100 - factory reset

    The MP tray is the default tray, and I do not think you can change it. Nor do I think the problem is the printer. Check to make sure you do not have the printer paused in the priter monitor. If the green light is falshing on the printer, then the job was sent to the printer, otherwise the...

    HP 8550 Print Quality and Recommendation

    I have never used a 8550 myself, but I have a few customers that have had them and they all seemed happy with the print quality. Donald Broda Vice President www.brtoner.com

    HP 8550 Print Quality and Recommendation

    I woould be careful whenever you are buying a color printer used. I am assuming it is used since they have not been made in quite a while. While you should be happy with the quality, these printers can be expensive to fix and maintain, and if they have a high page coount on them I think that I...

    HP 4600 max paper weight?

    I do not yhink you're printer would brake from printing a higher weight paper, but it will wear out componets quicker. And since it is costly to do a maintence kit I would just talk to a buisness card company. ou can usaully get a thousand cards for about $20.00. Much cheaper then a maintence...

    HP8100 fuser burning smells

    Ocassionally a fuser can burn out before it's scheduled life. It is not uncommon on these ptinters because they have such a high fusing tempature. I have seen fusers for these printers go from only 200,000 pages to 400,000 pages. 150,000 pages seems quite low, but HP does not test their...

    4550 and toner out, but not really

    the 4500 and 4550 toner cartridges do not have chips on them the drum does.) So, the toner readings are highly inaccurate. The drum reading should be fairly accurate though. Donald Broda Vice President www.brtoner.com
