HP LaserJet M1132 toner cartridges not delivering full capacity

I have a LaserJet M1132 MFP bought last week. Connection is USB, operating system is Windows 8 - 64bit. Have upgraded to latest firmware. Driver is latest Windows 8 driver. Settings are default (fastres 600).
When using the initial toner cartridge that came with the unit, it delivered only around 250 text (note text and not graphics) pages before it ran out. I know this because I bought three reams of paper when I bought the unit and used half a pack. Coverage was around 50% per page, double sided. I took it out and shook it but this made no difference.
I purchased two new original HP CE285A cartidges at the same time as I bought the printer. I wondered if the original cartridge was a reduced capacity cartridge. So I installed a new cartridge. The toner light came on after printing 935 pages (from the status page). Again, the majority of these were text pages at 50% coverage double sided.
Each cartridge is £75 which gives a per page cost of around 8p/page (not including the cost of the printer) which is outrageous for a laser printer. The packaging estimates around 1,500 pages per cartridge but I clearly didn't get anywhere near this with the first cartridge and am not getting this with the second one either. I have another HP MFP (3500) which delivers around 5 reams before a cartridge runs out.
I am an extremely experienced user with 25 years in printing and imaging and know that estimates assume a certain coverage. I am by no means using a heavy coverage. I am extremely unhappy to say the least. Your help and advice appreciated.
Regards
Tony Harris

The only thing you can do to try and extend the cartridge life a bit more is enable EconoMode on the print driver. Most likely this was enabled on the devices being tested for the cartridge yield. I'll include the instructions to enable it below. Let me know what happens.
Click on the Start menu.
Click on Devices and Printer.
Right-click on your printer.
Select Printer Preferences.
Click on the Quality tab. It may be labeled as the Paper/Quality tab.
Click the box next to EconoMode to enable it.
Click Apply to save the change.
Click OK to close the window.

HP Laserjet 4050 toner cartridge issue

I look after a laserjet 4050 printer for a company. They recently started using a new toner cartridge (higher quality) but they have started to have issues with black ink lines down one side of the paper. They have sent back toner cartridges (thinking them to be faulty) but cartridges are fine.
Is this a printer issue or is there an issue with the toner cartridge and the 4050 printer (not compatable)

I think I may have the solution to your problem. I do not think the toner is your problem here. From my experience i would suggest that your printer may need to be cleaned. I had a client who had a similar problem with his printer, what you should try doing is the following:
If toner specks appear on the front or back side of your print jobs, follow the procedure below to clean the paper path.
Using the printer cleaning page
From the printer’s control panel, do the following:
Press MENU until "Print Quality Menu" appears.
Press ITEM until "Create Cleaning Page" appears.
Press SELECT to create the cleaning page.
Follow the instructions on the cleaning page to complete the cleaning process.
NOTE: In order for the cleaning page to work properly, print the page on copier grade paper (not bond or rough paper).
You might need to create a cleaning page more than once. When toner has been cleaned from inside the printer, shiny black spots will appear on the page’s black strip.
To ensure good print quality with certain types of paper, use the cleaning page every time that the print cartridge is replaced.
I am confident that your toner should print clear pages after this.

Problem inserting hp LASERJET 1020 TONER CARTRIDGE

I took the toner cartridge out of my hp laserjet 1020 printer and when I tried to replace it doesn't go back in squarely. Can'r tell if the left side is in to far or if the right side is not in far enough. The printer is turned on. I have removed it before withour incident. Thanks for any advice. BOOBOO2

Hello , Thanks for posting in the HP Forums, and welcome! I understand you are having some issue installing a new toner cartridge in your HP Laserjet 1020 Printer. I'd love to help you with this. Please take a look at this video tutorial for changing the toner on this model - Replacing a Cartridge - HP LaserJet 1020 Printer If you are still unable to install the toner cartridge, I'd recommend taking a look inside the unit with a small flashlight to see if you can see any obstructions. Hope this helps!

HP LaserJet M1132 MFP does not print from a remote desktop

Hi,
I have a HP LaserJet M1132 MFP (product number CE847A) connected to a PC (MS Windows XP Home Edition + SP3) via USB. There is no problem with the printer. However, when the connection using Remote Desktop (it's set to use local facilities and resources, or in my case, printers, and serial ports) to the server (MS Windows Server 2008 R2), I can not even print a test page from a remote desktop.
Error message: "Print a test page failed. Do you want to display a tool to solve problems with printing to get help?"
But it does not lead to nowhere, as expected is access to the internet, and I have not it from a MS Windows Server 2008 R2.
The same error is for the HP LaserJet M1120n MFP.
I have installed on my PC other printer - old OKI ML321 (needle) connected to a PC using LPT cable and network printer Konica Minolta 1690MF (in another room). In both of these printers can easily print a test page from a remote desktop.
Please help me.
This question was solved.

Thank you for your interest.
The situation is a bit different than the picture. Windows Server 2008 R2 is available through the WAN. LAN is plugged into the PC-1, PC-2 and Konica Minolta printer. HP LaserJet M1120n MFP is connected via USB to the PC-1. OKI ML 3320 printer is connected via LPT also to the PC-1. PC-1 has access to Konica Minolta printer via the LAN. PC-2 also has access to Konica Minolta printer via the LAN. PC-2 is also available for PC-1 HP and OKI.
It seems to me that I found the explanation for the printing problems - some of "my" printers are simply not compatible with Windows Server 2008 R2. I found on the net the following information:

HPC7200 NEW INK CARTRIDGES NOT SHOWING FULL

Can someone help me? I have only used genuine HP cartridges in my printer. Over the last three installs I noticed that one particular color (triangle blue - not sure the colorname) shows a little over half full and it is a new cartridge. My printer is a few years old and has been kept in excellent condition. Is there anything that can be done. I feel if I get a new cartridge it is only going to show the same thing as the current one.

I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post serial numbers and case details.

Time Capsule Not Using Full Capacity

Good morning. I have a 1tb Time Capsule and use Time Machine to backup my iMac and my son's MBP.
The Time Machine backup is reporting that 235gb of 998gb is available. But it's been "stuck" at about 235gb for weeks. It seems as if the system is not using all available capacity. Is this normal?
I should note that at one time I had miscellaneous folders and files on the Time Capsule (from a PC). Would those miscellaneous files have somehow "blocked" access to the rest of the free space? I have removed those misc files, but still not seeing the system use my full drive capacity.
Any ideas how to get the system to use the rest of the drive?
Thanks in advance, John

The Time Capsule is reporting on the space that backups are using on the drive. Backups are stored in a special container called a sparsebundle file.
Sparsebundles behave differently than normal files. The sparsefundle expands as more data is added.But, it behaves differently when files are deleted.
So, lets say that the sparsebundle is up to 100 GB. Now, you delete 10 GB from your backups beasue you don't need the files any longer. So, you think you should see 90 GB now.
The sparsebundlw will still show as a 100 GB. It will begin to "grow" again when more than 100 GB is present.

Not reaching full capacity

I have a 20g iPod (w/ clickwheel) and am using iTunes 7.1. and I 18.75g of songs (4800ish) in my library (not sure if that includes Podcasts or not, I don't think so).
The last few times I did an auto-sync, I see only 3498 songs on my songlist and notice some artists missing...
I am not receiving any message saying that my iPod doesn't have enough room and do I want to create the iPod Selection playlist...
Any advice so that I can get my iPod to auto-sync to its fullest capacity?
Thanks!

Check how much room you have left on your iPod after an auto-sync.
By the way, if you did not know, after you format an iPod, the total capacity is NOT 20GB. It will actually be around 17GB or 18GB.

IPod Shuffle does not reach full capacity

Currently my iPod has 223 songs and is at 891.3 mb capacity. I noticed in the connections that data accounts for 80MB of the space. Enable disk drive is not checked and the slider is to the left for more songs.
How can I find out what data is taking up that space and also delete the data so that I can download more songs.
Thanks in advance.

You can view your Ipod in my computer and then right click on your Ipod and select exlorer then view the hidden files to see where the extra space which files are using your ipod space.
To view your hidden files while in the My Computer Window - Select Tools - Folder Options - Click on View Tab - Put check mark in View Hidden Files - Click ok and you will see the Hidden folder Ipod_Control Right click on this folder to see the size of this folder.
Hope this helps

Flash player not using full capacity. (11.7/8)

I have been attempting to play an extremely resource-heavy flash game: Madness: Project Nexus. I have a gaming computer with a 670M GTX gpu and a i7 Quad Core 2.7 Ghz, with 12GB of DDR3 RAM. OS is Windows 7 Home Premium. Browser is Firefox Aurora 23.0 Alpha 2. Exact Flash Player version is 11.7.700.224.
However, flash player doesn't use enough of the processor or the RAM. At most, I've only experienced a 30% RAM and a 25% processor usage. How would I increase the parameters to allocate upwards of 8GB of RAM and 100% max processor usage for Adobe Flash?
It isn't the computer slowing me down; Flash player doesn't use enough of it. That's why I need help.
Nobody likes lag.

First thing to check: do you have the "kill-bit" for Flash Player set (e.g. by some malware): http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
If you have, don't fix it manually (unless you are very confident using the Registry Editor); just post back, and someone will post an easy way to remove that "kill-bit".

Canon HFS 10 log & transfer not using full capacity of camera

I hope someone can help.
Just bought a Canon HFS10 AVCHD handycam that boasts it records at 24 Mbps but when using log and transfer the clips are only recording around 10 to 13 Mbps.
There doesn't appear to be an option in 'Log and Transfer' to up the rate.
How do I get Final Cut Express to take up video from the camera at 24MBps?

Here's a recent thread I did on the topic:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1964703&tstart=0
The basic idea is that Canon boasts it captures at 24mBps, but is actually a variable bit rate and uses whatever rate it needs when capturing. As such, the data rate upon ingest would be the rate it captured at. There is no way to change the data rate within FCE, this solely depends on how the camera captured. 24mBps is probably the maximum data rate the camera has achieved in tests.

Laserjet M1132 MFP status offline

My laserjet M1132 MFP does not print.i tried some tips in the troubleshooting.all does not work.even the doctor scan after it is downloaded it closes automatically without opening.i dont know what is the problem

Hi , I see that you are experiencing issues printing. I would like to help you. Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation. Make sure the printer is directly connected to the computer by the USB cable and not a USB hub. Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or software issue.On the control panel, press and hold the Cancel button until the Ready light starts blinking, and then release the button.Did the self test print?

HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw Does not recognise new toner cartridge

HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw - error message to install new cartridge
After printing a ream of paper, we got an error message to install a new toner cartridge. We couldn't overwrite it and continue to print. Installed a new HP toner cartridge and still get the same error message to install a new cartridge. I've done a hard reset already with no change. Will take any help I can get. This is the first toner cartridge change for this printer.

Hi @kdaniels79 ,
I see that you are experiencing issues with the toner not being recognised. I will certainly do my best to help you.
I have provided a document with steps for replacing the toner. Make sure all the orange packing material is removed and the sealing tape. Make sure a piece of paper didn't slide in part way from the paper tray, blocking any sensors.
Replace the Toner Cartridge.
Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!

How can I use the Warranty on my LaserJet Toner Cartridges ?

I have accumulated a total of 4 malfunctioning LaserJet toner cartridges in the last 6 months and I seem to be stymied trying to do anything. They are for LaserJet models 5, 6p, and 2100, and the failures are each unique print quality problems, move from printer to printer with the toner cartridge and are all completely resolved by using another toner cartridge. Each of the cartridges yielded between 100 and 800 pages before failing, outlasting the 14 day return policy at local Staples where they were purchased. None of the cartridges depleted its toner supply.
The Warranty Return Card in the package is very simple. It says "this toner cartridge is warranted to be free from defects in materials or workmanship during its useful lifetime", and "does not apply to cartridges that have been refilled or to those which are simply empty as a result of normal use."
HP's Limited Warranty Statement at http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/privacy/limite d_warranty.html under the heading "HP Limited Warranty Statement - LaserJet Print Cartridges and Imaging Drums" seems simple and straightforward, "HP LaserJet Print Cartridges and Imaging Drums are warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship" then a clause excluding cartridges refilled, tampered abused, or simply worn out from use, "To obtain warranty service, please return the product to place of purchase (with a written description of the problem and print samples) or contact HP customer support. At HP’s option, HP will either replace products that prove to be defective or refund your purchase price."
N.B.: There is no period stated for the Warranty, nor is there any on the Warranty Return Card in the product package. Also, these toner cartridges do not contain any smart chips, toner depletion sensors, etc.
When I tried to return the cartridges to Staples, they called HP and were told by HP I had to have my receipt to prove the cartridges were less than 1 year old, and then that they wouldn't take them back at Staples anyway but that if I called HP would "mail me one". Since I buy a spare to sit next to a printer for when it runs out of toner, I'm not sure they were all purchased within the last 12 months, only that they were put into service within the last 12 months.
When I called HP support they opened up a trouble ticket for my printer and said someone would get back to me within 10 days. I'm half expecting to get an email in 10 days apologetically noticing that HP no longer supports any of these printers. An email to ship them somewhere far away and expect a reply in 90 days is a definite possibility. I definitely don't expect an HP field service technician to arrive at my door to service the toner cartridges in person.
I don't understand how to use the Warranty. I've (over) paid for piles of genuine HP LaserJet Toner cartridges and having 4 fail for quality problems in the last few months got my attention and its enough money to chase it rather than tossing them like the other 6 or 7 defective ones over the last 10 years.
Does anyone know how to actually get a replacement toner cartridge for a defective one? Please tell me the Warranty isn't just smoke and mirrors...

Sorry to say. TheHP Warranty is worthless. I have a friend witht eh EXACT same problem. DOA cartridges (2 BRAND SPANKING NEW ONES). One fail about half wai the other did not even over 600 pages. At $140 per cartridge (plus tax) that is about 21 cents per page plus the cost of paper. That is color inkjet prices. And that does not take into account cost of electricity, printer, and time wasted to buy the worthless cartridges.
I listen in his last tech call and I had to go out because it was enfurating. The technician even email him prve that the toner had NP time based warranty and still in the same breath said our policy is that the warranty is 1 year. Huh? What the #%^&* ! Really? I mean REALLY? Is like sending you a picture of a perfectly blue sky as proof and telling you that the sky is red with yellow dots. I hope there is class action lawsuit agains HP since they are clearly ripping people off. And the sad part is that some small businesses will also get screw since they sell HP cartridges and some actually say in their web site that the cartridges aare warranted for life.
I would say either:
- Do NOT buy HP cartridges
- Never stock spare cartridges
- or btter yet, buy another brand of printer.
I actually have the same printer simlilar to his and I used generic with no problems. Plus I buy my cartridges for $35 if he had done the same he would had at least $400 towards another printer so even if the toner blows up and destroys his printer he would have enough money to buy a replacement.
Check out this link
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c01848047&jumpi...
it actually says:
"There is no expiration date for the use of HP toner cartridges."
This came from the tech guy at HP!
And then he had the guts to say it is a 1 year warranty? This only can happen when you have tech support in India. I guess in India's English no expiration means 1 year. I have not found an Indian English to American English dictionary but I am sure that is what it should be because they guy did not even hesitated for 1 second when he send that and said it.

HP LaserJet Pro P1606dn - Toner Cartridge Reject

HP Laserjet Pro P1606dn does not recognize toner is in machine. What can be done - The light showing need for toner cartridge will not go off-printer willnot print

Hello @debadmin1, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing toner issues. I would like to help.
I would recommend performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would then recommend this document on 'Install Black Cartridge' Message Displays on the Control Panel or Blinking Toner Light Displays on ...
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Brand new hp laserjet p1102 and new toner cartridge out of toner after less than 100 prints ! ! ! !

Hi ,
I have just bought a brand new HP laserjet p1102 and a brand new toner cartridge, and within litterally 50 sheets being printed it says I am out of toner.
Please tell me what I must do to get this working again, because clearly I am not out of toner.
Thanks

Hello , Welcome to the HP Community. I'd like to help you with the installation and printing issues you are having with your HP Laserjet Pro M201dw, on your Windows 8.1 operating system. I can certainly understand your frustration, it seems like you have attempted the install multiple times. First, I'd recommend running the Print and Scan Doctor, to see if it can resolve any errors in the software without having to re-install. If it does prompt you to re-install your software, I would suggest uninstalling all M201dw software from the Programs section of your control panel. Once that's done, do a cleanboot of your computer. You can find instructions to complete the cleanboot here: How to perform a clean boot in Windows Note: This will turn off all non-essential startup items, so if it's another program on your computer that is causing the installation to lag, it should resolve the install issue. Rather than installing from the download or the CD that came with the printer, I'd suggest downloading and running the HP Printer Install Wizard. Please respond and let me know if this helped to resolve the issue!Good luck
