LASERJET P2015-PROBLEMS WITH PAPER FEED

We have a HP LaserJet P2015 in the office.  When the paper reaches the halfway point, the printer makes a horrible sound and will not feed the paper.  Anybody have any suggestion?

So, I cranked up my old PowerBook G4 (OS 10.4.11) which has the older driver for the P2015dn and the problem remains.
I have made some progress: If I want to print with paper feed from Tray 1, I pull Tray 2 out a few inches, load the paper in Tray 1, start the print job, and the yellow Attention LED flashes indicating an error. Note that the Paper Out light does NOT come on. So I press the Go button, the Attention LED goes out, and the print job completes using the forms in Tray 1 as desired.
So I'm thinking now, What Error condition? and why does clearing it make it print?
Certainly seems like a hardware problem to me as this is NOT the way the printer is supposed to work as documenetd in the User Guide.

  • HP LaserJet P2015 Tray 1 paper feed

    My HP LaserJet P2015dn printer has been my workhorse printer since new, especially for printing checks, envelopes, forms from paper Tray 1. I always print using the Auto Select for paper feed, so that if there are checks/envelopes in Tray 1, they will be selected. For the past 6 weeks or so, the printer will not feed from Tray 1 on demand, that is will not pick paper from Tray 1 if Auto Select is enabled as I have used it in the past.
    Printer will pick from Tray 1 IF Tray 1 is specifically selected OR Tray 2 has no paper or is removed. I doubt I can retrain myself to do either of these things as work arounds.
    Stupidly, I paid a $50 bench fee for a technician to tell me the printer is mechanically working as it should. On further investigation, I have determined that the HP print drivers is use seem to have been installed on July 10, 2008 (about the time this issue started AFAIK) from a combined installer HPLaserJetP2015andColorLaserJet2605_2700.dmg which I installed for my Color LaserJet 2605dn printer.
    I still have the prior LJP2015OSXfullsol.dmg on my hard disk, but reinstalling same does not seem to replace the new driver with the old.
    So, is there any way to get rid of the the newer print software OR overlay the older on the newer? Other suggestions?

  • Problem with RSS feeds in AppleMail

    If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. I have several RSS feeds that come in through AppleMail. Every so often, it stops receiving all of the feeds (I get an explanation point next to the the RSS header). After a day or so, it will start receiving feeds again. I have no problem getting e-mails... just my RSS feeds. Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I have just experienced the same problem with RSS feeds through AppleMail. A couple of days ago (just after I had upgraded to Aperture 3 - not sure if that's relevant) the exclamation mark appeared next to all the Mailboxes for my RSS feeds, and has not disappeared. If I click on the exclamation mark I get the message "there was an error updating the RSS feed 'Apple Hot News'. The RSS feed is temporarily unavailable because an internal error occurred".
    I have tried shutting down, and deleting the RSS plist - with no effect.
    Other details - the problem exists on a MacBook Pro, running Sno (v 10.6.2 - all updates applied) and Apple Mail v4.2. I can send / receive regular email. I also have an iMac (also running Sno 10.6.2 and Apple Mail v4.2) - RSS feeds work fine on this machine. Both machines use the same wireless broadband router.
    Grateful for any help. Thanks

  • HP Laserjet 1020 problem with double-side printing

    Hi, everyone!
    I have a problem with my printer HP laserjet 1020. From the community I know that there is no driver for 1020, but there is for 1022 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907). I installed it and everything was fine until I tried to print 2-sided page... It appears 2-sided option disappeared and I don't know how to fix this...
    Can anyone help, please?
    Thank you for looking.

    AMW122,
    The part in the photograph appears to be part of the fuser assembly.  If it is part of the fuser assembly, I would recommend you replace the fuser.  An internet search on "LaserJet 3300 fuser" found several links.  
    From what I can see, it appears that the fuser sleeve is damaged which will continue to worsen.
    If it is not the fuser, can you post another photograph further away so that we can see the location on the printer where it is located, etc...

  • I have read up, and am still having problems with RSS Feed

    Greetings Everyone.
    I really need some help with my RSS feed before I go insane. I would like to think I know what I am doing, but obviously there is some little (or big!) step I am overlooking.
    Ok here is my site: www.drewernst.com it is hosted by asmallorange.com
    My pocast is at www.drewenst.com/podcast
    This is the rss feed iWeb generated: feed://www.drewernst.com/podcast/The%20Jeff%20and%20Drew%20Podcast/rss.xml
    Now, from everything I have read so far - it seems that as long as you get the URL right when you are publishing to a folder, iWeb should do the rest. Also, it is important to put the whole folder containing your podcast in your root web folder otherwise it breaks the feed. Both of these things I have done. (obviously not correctly, or it would be working!)
    I read Many tutorials and topics I could find about this, but it still doesn't seem to work for me. Apple suggests taking the RSS feed an pasting it into itunes under Advanced menu "subscribe to podcast" to make sure your feed is valid before submitting to itunes.
    When I do this, I get an message saying "there was a problem downloading... An unknown error occurred (-50).
    I tried using a feed validator and it came back with so many errors. I just don't know that much about RSS, but i have been working on this for about a month and it's driving me crazy. No one I have asked at the apple store has been any more helpful than to suggest I just buy a .mac account and do it from there(honestly the nerve. wink.) I don't need .mac, I have my own website.
    Thanks in advance.
    Mr. Rss Crazy,
    Drew
    Oh, I tried to be as detailed as possible but if I left anything important out, please just ask...I will be watching this like a hawk.
    iMac 2.0ghz Core 2 Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    So, my web-host said that it's a problem with the RSS feed, not there hosting.
    They pointed me to "Feed Validator" which I looked at before. I have a lot of errors.
    http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.drewernst.com%2Fpodcast% 2FThe%2520Jeff%2520and%2520Drew%2520Podcast%2Frss.xml
    Shouldn't Garageband and iWeb have taken care of these errors. I don't even know how I would correct them. I thought this was supposed to be a 1-2-3 process, like the documentation of both programs said.
    Sorry if I sound sarcastic, I am just frustrated.

  • HP Envy 4500 - issues with paper feeding on intial setup

    I just bought this HP Envy 4500 this afternoon and I need to use it asap.  Upon initial set up (before any wireless connections), I am stuck at the paper feed needed in order to print the test page. I loaded plain white paper but it still tells me to load the paper.  It sounds like it's preparing to print but then the paper does not feed, it never pulls the paper in.  I have used 3 varying stacks of paper to try to get it to pull and nothing.
    Please help.  TIA

    Hi @Loopster2,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are setting up your HP Envy 4500, but it is not recognizing the paper, so it keeps asking you to load the paper.
    Please make sure the Paper Tray is pushed all the way back, alot of the times if you are getting this error it is because the paper tray isn't installed properly.
    Continue troubleshooting here: HP ENVY 4500 and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3540 e-All-in-One Printer Series - An 'Initializing...Plea...
    Please let me know the outcome, I will watch for your reply.

  • Does LaserJet P2015 work with JetDirect?

    Hello,
       I work at a school that has a LaserJet P2015 that we want to put on the network.  Is it possible to use a JetDirect print server?  If not, is it possible to upgrade it?  I'm just trying to find some way of hooking it directly into the network without having to use a local computer to act as print server.
    Thanks

  • HP Color Laserjet 2550N problem with letter size documents

    If user sends a Letter size print job to the printer loaded with A4 paper printer fails to print until we hit the continue button even if the "Auto Continue" feature is selected. This feature is important because even if A4 is the standard paper size here in AU, most of the microsoft application defaults to Letter (we get lots of document from outside source and constantly hunting them down and changin them is not the viable solution).
    We have lots of complain about this because half of our users who uses PC don't have this problem, so the source lies in the OSX driver for this printer. The printer driver setting also has a feature called "Paper Matching" which is set to "Nearest Size and Scale" which doesn't work as intended. After dealing with HP for about a month and a half they have refused to take any responsibility regarding this issue and blamed OSX. Any advise would be great.

  • HP LaserJet 3300 problem with gray film

    I have used the laserjet constantly and from time to time get paper jams.  I can only suspect that damage was done to the gray film covering a rod at the back of the machine since there is clearly a piece torn off it.  It means that printing pages shows a dark line down the paper imaging the torn section.  Shown slightly right of center.   Can this be repaired?

    AMW122,

  • Problem with podcast feed on windows 7

    Hi
    I have had the following podcast working in itunes for over 3 years.
    However, a couple of months ago I moved to a new PC with windows 7 and now the downloads start, stop straight away and give a 404 error.  However, when I use my old XP pc or Vista laptop the downloads in itunes still work.
    http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/stanway-evangelical-church/id277422426?mt=2
    I have even copied the link against one of the podcasts in the itunes store and copied into a new browser.  When you then click play in the itunes browser version it plays.  So it is not an issue that the podcast does not exist and the server being down.
    http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/6-may-2012-church-at-4/id277422426?i=11599693 1&mt=2
    I would be grateful for any insight as it is very annoying.

    I use Podcast Station to create the RSS file (this has not changed since 2008)
    I have not changed any formats
    Thanks
    Simon

    Hhhmmmm! There is definitely a problem.
    I've just tried the first link you gave, found the Podcast in iTunes Store and selected Free for the episode of 29th July (which should download the epsiode as a Podcast). Although it looked as though iTunes was downloading it, and gave no error message when it "finished", there is nothing downloaded. (Never seen a failed download but with no error message before!)
    I even tried the episode from 8th July, but with the same result. In fact, in both cases, the progress bar went straight from "looking for the episode" to "done" in the iTunes Download section. I even attempted to watch the download in my file manager. The temporary folder is created but no content arrives and eventually the temporary folder is erased.
    This is a Podcast problem. Although you managed to play an episode, (in iTunes - I can't), it is a different process to "play" the file as distinct from downloading it as a Podcast episode, so that explains why it can be played in a browser but not downloaded as a Podcast.
    I suggest you contact the programme's producers, since it is they who control the Podcast, not iTunes/Apple. I'm sure their first reaction is likely to be that it's an iTunes problem. It may be, (although I doubt it), but as I stated, Apple don't control Podcasts and they will not fault find this one. From previous posts about faulty Podcasts, I know that if the problem is with the iTunes Store, it will still be the producers of the programme who fault find and then report the issue to Apple.

  • HP Laserjet CP1025nw problem with network setup

    I want to ask does this printer model have some defect when connected to network? Because we tried to connect it via wired network and it will work by a few minutes then after it will not connect. I tried pinging and it shows destination host is unreachable. It was manually set for IP Address.
    We sent it back to the vendor to get a new one and still the same problem persist. We tried different HP Printer model but it does not cause any problem. I am very sure problem arises from the printer.

    Hi,
    I uses the CP1025nw on a wired connection on a general manner with no such issues.. it is not a model defect or similar.
    Have you tried using a different ethernet cord?
    Have you tried plugging the cable into another port lan of your router?
    While the computer cannot connect to the printer, does it have an IP address available or will it fully disconnect from the network? (that is in order to better understand if the printer disconnects or only not available for the computer)
    Does the same happens from a single computer or do you see the same behavior from other devices on your network?
    I suggest connecting the printer with a USB and updaing the latest firmware, that can be download from the following link:
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/COL34894/​lj-115939-3/LJCP1020_FW_Upgrade_Security-20150114.​...
    Once you are done check for any difference. if the same persists try connecting an ethernet cable directly from the printer to your PC to ensure its functionality.
    Can you see any similar behavior or may you see any difference? that allow isolating any cause to better understand if that also happen on a direct connection, (to simulate a different network).
    Please let me know the results,
    Shlomi
