Hp m551 low toner report- long print time

Our hp m551 usually prints really fast - the second we hit the print button. But lately it is giving me low toner report for the black cartridge on the LCD. It keeps flashing this over and over. But it says it is time to get a repalcement read and not necessary to change  the cartridge yet. It is so annoying. I already know this. It's been reporting this low toner for months now.
The last couple weeks when we send a file to rpint, it will take forever  to print one page. It think s for 15 mintues before finally printing. I think it has asomehting to do with this low toner report constantly flashing.
The other issue I have is that the product specs say that the toner that came pre installed with the printer should yield 5500 pages black or 6000 color pages. We print very lightly on this printer and I think we have only printed about half that amount. So I don't understand why the toner should be low so soon.
Can someone please help me with this problem?

  • How to Dynamically Select the Data File for a Report at Print Time

    How do you configure a Crystal report to ask for the file to be reported on as the report is being printed, and allow the user to browse to the file?
    The environment is Crystal Reports XI, SP3, with ODBC connection to Sage Timberline Office data version 9.7.  The client names their Payroll unposted time file each pay period, and also needs to report on their posted data file, depending on the time period for the report.  The client will need to select both the date range and the file name.
    I have created a SQL statement in Add Command in Database Expert, which prompts for a file name, but it does not let you browse to select a file on the computer.
    Therefore, in the prompts when they print the report, the parameter offers the user a default file name similar to the name they currently use, so they only have to change the payroll period end date in the supplied file name to run the report successfully.
    The client is concerned that sometimes a user will name their data file differently, and not know how to input the file name into the Crystal report prompt at print time.
    My research on dynamic prompts showed you can link to fields inside the data record, but I did not see a way to dynamically link to select the actual files used in the report.
    Another question is that the naming convention used by the SQL query is different than the basic Windows file name, but I think I can handle that issue.
    The actual file name is typically similar to:
    04-10-11 BP NEW.PRT
    However, in the SQL query, the record ID looks like:
    PRT_00-00-00 BP NEW__TIME
    The SQL Statement using a parameter is:
    SELECT
    "PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Employee",
    "EMPLOYEE1"."Employee_Name",
    "PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Date",
    "PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Units",
    "PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Job",
    "JOB1"."BP_Emps_Used"
    FROM
    "PRT_CURRENT__TIME" AS "PRT_CURRENT__TIME"
    INNER JOIN "JCM_MASTER__JOB" AS "JOB1"
    ON "PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Job"="JOB1"."Job"
    INNER JOIN "PRM_MASTER__EMPLOYEE" AS "EMPLOYEE1"
    ON "PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Employee"="EMPLOYEE1"."Employee"
    WHERE "JOB1"."BP_Emps_Used" = 1
    AND
    ("PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Date" BETWEEN
    {?As of Date} - 41 AND {?As of Date})
    UNION ALL
    ( SELECT
    "PRT_NEW__TIME"."Employee",
    "EMPLOYEE2"."Employee_Name",
    "PRT_NEW__TIME"."Date",
    "PRT_NEW__TIME"."Units",
    "PRT_NEW__TIME"."Job",
    "JOB2"."BP_Emps_Used"
    FROM
    "{?NEWPRT}" AS "PRT_NEW__TIME"
    INNER JOIN "JCM_MASTER__JOB" AS "JOB2"
    ON "PRT_NEW__TIME"."Job"="JOB2"."Job"
    INNER JOIN "PRM_MASTER__EMPLOYEE" AS "EMPLOYEE2"
    ON "PRT_NEW__TIME"."Employee"="EMPLOYEE2"."Employee"
    WHERE "JOB2"."BP_Emps_Used" = 1
    AND
    ("PRT_NEW__TIME"."Date" BETWEEN
    {?As of Date} - 41 AND {?As of Date})

    Hello,
    Sorry you'll have to contact Sage on how to do this. We can help you once you get connected but we can't help you get around their connection methods.
    There is no Preview Set Database Connection method you can use in CR Designer. The Designer assumes you select it first or use the Set Location option before previewing or refreshing the data.
    If you are doing this in the Sage program itself we can't help you, you'll have to contact Sage for assistance.
    Sage is an OEM Partner they are responsible for supporting their product and CR. If they have issues help you then they will contact us directly for assistance.
    Thank you

  • CM6040 MFP - LOW TONER MESSAGE FROM PRINTER TO COMPUTER WITHOUT ERROR CODE OR COLOR

    The printer is sending "low toner/ink" message to whomever prints.  The printer shows no error code on the display and prints fine.  The message the printer sends to the computer does not indicate what color is low.  We all operate on Windows 7 which we just upgraded to a few weeks ago.  Like I said, the printer continues to print fine and does not display an error code on the display but continues to send this annoying message everytime one prints.  Any ideas on what is causing this message?

    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/
    I hope this helps.

  • HP Deskjet 1000 J110 - Pausing causes long print times

    Hi everyone. My company just bought the Deskjet 1000 J110 series for our shipping computer.
    Every time we try to print, the machine pulls the paper in a few inches and pauses while the power light is flashing. It will sit like this for a few moments before printing a few more lines and pausing again (with the power light flashing.) It repeats this process several times. Sometimes, maybe only one line will print, other times it will be more. Eventually, the entire page IS printed and looks just fine with crisp readable text or barcodes with no visible errors. However, it takes anywhere between 1 and 3 minutes to print a full page. This happens whether it is a shipping barcode, a body of text from Word, or even the ‘Print Test Page’ option under the printer properties. Seriously, it took me ten minutes to print six pages today, and they were each only about a half a page of content.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
    I’ve included some system information for reference.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    The symptoms you described will most likely indicate a communication issue.
    Unplug the USB cable from the back of the printer, then try printing an hardware self test print as following:
    While holding the power button pressed, open and close the Cartridge Access Door for 10 times, then release the power button.
    If the self test being printed as it should, try plugging the USB cable into a different USB port, make sure to connect it directly to a free USB port on the back of your PC and not by using any USB hub.
    If there is still no change, i would suggest you to try using a differenct USB cable and check for any change.
    If the same appears while printing a self test with no USB attached, it might be a cartridge problem affecting the device.
    If so, contact the local HP Call Center in order to troubleshoot the problem and provide any required service according.
    You may find the local number listed below:

  • Replaced Ink Cartridge on HP2800 Business Inkjet--won't print. Error says low toner

    We have a 6 month old HP 2800 Business Inkjet. Replaced the black toner cartridge, now the printer will not print. When we print a job, we receive error message Intervention needed, low toner. The printer will print from its menu example Configuration page or pages that print when you align printheads.
    When you try to print a job from a computer, error message--intervention needed, low toner.
    We are printing from Mac computers. OSX  version 10.5.6.  I've printed configuration page, Ink Cartidge status for all 4 is 99%. Printhead status is good for all. 
    Tried unplugging from power and network, removed and replaced toner and printheads.
    Can anyone help? 

    If its an old cartridge even if it's new there is an expiration date built into the cartridge. Try a new one and on the box check the date.

  • M476dw no longer prints in Econo mode is this due to low toner level?

    I have an M476DW AIO color laser printer.My black cartridge reports "zero" remaining pages available, but still prints fine, so i have been waiting till the toner is "really" gone to install the new cartridge. I have been printing most documents in "econo mode" using less toner, but yesterday econo-mode seems to have stopped working ... Does anyone know if this is this an intentional design feature? I.E. econo-mode is disabled on low toner level to improve print quality, or do I have something else going on?I've made no changes to my settings / system.... Thanks,jim

  • Printing fails, says low toner on old Laserjet

    Under Fedora 15, Firefox will not print to HP Laserjet 6MP connected to JetDirect EX Plus3. It says low toner. Other programs print successfully, CUPS control panel also says no toner left.
    However I believe this 12 year old printer/jetdirect combo has no way to detect or report toner levels.

    If its an old cartridge even if it's new there is an expiration date built into the cartridge. Try a new one and on the box check the date.

  • Print-time charting with shared variables on a report without groups...

    hello all,
    I have an interesting conundrum; I am working on a report (Crystal XI) with no groups to it, just several subreports. Presently the report is run weekly and sent to the manager of one of our departments.
    The report itself showcases all areas of the department with total tasks, longest outstanding task, average days outstanding, MTD tasks completed, and YTD tasks completed. Due to the variety of tables the data pulls from, I have it set up as subreports that simply display the data.
    All total, there are 20 different shared variables that have been obtained from 10 different subreports. I have the shared variables set as the running totals from the subreports (hence, all are print time). Since the running totals and all the subreports are time based and are not actually linked to ANYTHING on the main report, I am struggling with how to set up the formulas described in the white paper, "Charting on Print Time Formulas".
    The setting up of the two formulas ({@onchngof} and {@showval}) will be different for my situation, as all of the subreports run off of date information relative to when the report is ran. I've got all of the subreports that the shared variables originate in early in the report; but where to from here?
    Would I set up maybe a date grouping or some other non-essential consistent grouping to make it work? The way this report is, it really doesn't need grouping, because the main report is just a display agent for the subreports...
    As always, any help is greatly appreciated!

    Let me ask couple of questions before trying to resolve this.
    1. The chart you are trying to built is placed in which section and is it on Main report or sub-report of its own. This is needed because if you are trying to access shared variables values in Main report, the section should be below the sub-report placed sections.
    2. Try pacing few test formulas in Main report and make sure the correct values are being pulled in on Main report.
    If you are successfully pulling the variable values on the report, try creating a simple chart in report footer with the values you have pulled and see if its taking you somewhere...
    Would need more information on how those variables are being accessed form sub to main or sub to other sub for example are you making an array of those variables and splitting or bringing it in as separate...

  • My G5 recently began to act strange. I could no longer print ton any printer. all of my Adobe software would crash on startup as did Safari. tried to reload the printer software and was denied as I was no longer recognized as the administrator. any fixes?

    my G5 recently began to act strange. I could no longer print to any printer and all of my Adobe software and Safari would crash on startup.  attempted to re-install my printer software, but was denied as the computer no longer recognized me as the administrator even though i am the only account on the computer.  Performed a system install (w/ bakup of previous), this seemed to work for about two days and the problem has returned with other software (Excel) crashing on startup.  does anyone have any suggestions?  do i need to erase the harddrive and start over?

    I suggest you backup you important data!
    I suspect the harddrive is going bad.
    Run disk utility. verify disk & verify permissions. 
    Run hardware diagnostics. 
    I not sure of a good way of telling if the harddrive is going bad.  There is software to test harddrive.  Don't know of free stuff for mac.
    Considerng that the hd is 7 plus years old this isn't a surprise. 
    Suggest replacing hd.
    If your not up to that, get an external hd.
    You need an external Firewire drive to boot a PowerPC Mac computer [ a few G5's will boot from USB ].
    I recommend you do a google search on any external harddrive you are looking at.
    I bought a low cost external drive enclosure. When I started having trouble with it, I did a google search and found a lot of complaints about the drive enclosure. I ended up buying a new drive enclosure. On my second go around, I decided to buy a drive enclosure with a good history of working with Macs. The chip set seems to be the key ingredient. The Oxford line of chips seems to be good. I got the Oxford 911.
    Has everything interface:
    FireWire 800/400 + USB2, + eSATA 'Quad Interface'
    save a little money interface:
    FireWire 400 + USB 2.0
    This web page lists both external harddrive types. You may need to scroll to the right to see both.

  • What is the cause of my MBP coming out of sleep to sound a long low tone and repeat every 5 to 7 seconds?

    I put my MBP to sleep with: Paralells, Safari, Sophos, LittleSnitch and smcFanControl running as they are suppose too.
    Two hours later I went to wake my MBP and I get a long low tone and repeat it was repeating every 5 to 7 seconds. I had to do a hard power down in order to reboot or get any type of response from the MBP...
    Does anyone have any ideas of what this is. This machine is not even 30 days old yet & I am a new comer to the world of MBP's.

    Thank you all for the input regarding grounding. This was the problem, but not from a power outlet. The Sure 8900 microphone is has a 3-prong "balanced" connector at the microphone, but then is adapted to 1/8 inch connector so that it will fit the "mic" input jack on the iMac. The result - a conversion of a balanced to unbalanced signal. After describing this to a technician a a local electronics store, he immediately said "You can't go from a balanced to an unbalanced input and not have grounding noise. The reason: one channel shares the ground - allowing the AC clipping to occur.
    Solution: The 8900 mic comes with a 1/4 inch adapter making the mic "balanced" if connected. Put the 1/4 inch input over the 1/8 inch input, PLUG THIS INTO A USB mixer and into the USB port- problem solved - no more buzzing AND BETTER RECORDING QUALITY!!!

  • Historical Reports v 4.0 will no longer print

    We have been running reports in historical reports for the past couple of years and printing them out without an issue. About 2 weeks ago we had to rebuild our Call Manager publisher and restore from a backup from a 3 months ago since BARS had not been working (bad on my part). Anyway, after that Historical Reports will not print.
    We can run thereports and all of the correct information shows up. We can export the report and print it after that, but that just adds another step. For some reason we click on the print button, the print dialog box comes up, you click the OK button, and the box goes away but nothing prints.
    I have uninstalled the application, restarted, and installed the application all to no avail(on 4 different machines and on 1 I hacked the regeitry to make sure nothing was there). I have tried different printers and different drivers (PS, PCL 5, and PCL6) and different machines. It all just seem sto boil down to not wanting to print I I can not figure out why. All of the articles I have read here have not given me any further information to help me try to resolve this. Can anyone think of anything else that may be causing this?
    Thanks much
