Printer keeps coming on and off and making noises by itself

I can go for days without using the HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw but it keeps making noises.
If its supposed to save energy, why is it doing anything at all until I click "print" ???????

Thank you I was using the LCD. However, I have the IP address open now, I'm under System/Print Quality and the choices are:
After Power On - Off thru 60 mins
Calibration Timing - Off thru 168 hrs
Calibrate Now - check box
Maybe, when they gave me new Firmware it chaned the options?
Thanks for the heads up about the IP route because that's a lot better than the LCD way.

LaserJet CP1025NW Color Printer - Weird cranking noise when printing or rotating carousel

Just out the package today, the first time turning on the printer, during all print jobs and when rotating the cartridges, the carousel is making a weird cranking noise coming from the left side of the printer. I understand that this printer does make the winding/power-up sound, but this cranking noise is in addition to the normal sound.
I find this odd because I use the exact same printer at work and it does not make this noise and I am afraid that it is a faulty mechanism within the printer.
I have checked to make sure that I removed all packaging from inside the printer and removed all cartridges and replaced them. I would think that all pieces that need to be removed would be bright orange. Also, the print jobs are not affected by the cranking noise.
Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi saidthegirl
I understand the printer is noisy but will print.
I have included the document for setting up the printer, to take a look at where all the packing material is located.

If the printer is making unusual noise and you are using the toner that shipped with the printer then I would recommend to call HP Tech Support for further assistance to see what other options are available for you.

HP P1006 LaserJet printer and G4 Tiger computer - printing problems

Help. I bought a new HP P1006 LaserJet printer for a friend that has a G4 Computer that is running Tiger (10.4.11). I set everything up. I tried to print "one" page, to make sure all was well. Well...all was NOT well. It took nearly 4-5 minutes to print the page with just lines of text from a Word document. Does anyone know what could be wrong. I selected to print one page, then hit the print button. Then the computer started "thinking" and making all kinds of "thinking noises". Eventually it printed the page, but it too FOREVER.
I have three HP LaserJet printers. Two are working off another G4 running Tiger, and the other is working off a G5 and a Mac Mini Intel. When I print, it prints within seconds.
Please help me.

May be something on these links.

LaserJet Printer error "21 Print Overrun" when printing bitmap reports

I have some bitmap based Oracle Reports developed in Reports 2.5 and upgraded to 3.0. They were displayed correctly on screen. However, when they were printed to a HP LaserJet 4 SiMX (10Mb RAM) printer, the lower part of some pages or the last column of a page were missing. I received en error message "21 Print Overrun" on the LCD display panel of the printer. Is there anyway to correct this problem? (I do not want to convert these reports to character based and re-do all the report layouts)
Thanks for any suggestion.

Greetings,
I'm sorry to hear your nearly 15 year old printer is squeaking so loudly. I helped develop that printer and it’s always sad to hear that one is failing a customer. I fear I won't be able to help you root cause the problem, but I’ll certainly try. Here are some things to try::
1) Try installing a different toner cartridge. Sometimes the drum / seals / etc can make a noise.
2) Try isolating the noise to a component in the printer. Take a picture of the component and post it.
3) As I recall, the 5m printer has a replaceable fuser. It’s possible that the gears / rollers are worn to the point of making noise.
4) Try searching the internet for solutions to squeaks of other LaserJet models such as the LaserJet 4, 4+, 4000, 4050
For instance, here’s a link you might try: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=bpl12433&prodTypeId=18972&pro...

Hp laserjet printer p11o2w attention light in on continously

the attention light on my laserjet printer p1102w is on continouly (there is nopaper blockage) and the printer will not print. The printer is 2 years old.

Hi @flur ,
I see by your post that the attention light is continuously on and you unable to print anything. I can help you.
I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
You can find the blinking light pattern in this document and the solutions appropriate to the pattern you are experiencing. Blinking Lights on the HP LaserJet Pro P1102, P1102w, P1106, and P1108 Printers.
Reseat the toner and remove the paper from the paper tray and reseat the paper again.
Remove the USB cable temporarily and try and print a hardware self test on the printer. If using a USB connection.
Were you able to print the test page, or is the attention light still on?
When you turn the printer on or open the top cover, does the printer make a noise?
Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
What are the toner levels?
How is the printer connected? (USB/Wireless)
If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Screen making noises and hairline crack... Help?!

I have an iPhone 6... On Monday when I touched my screen, I noticed that it was making noise when I pushed down on it on the left side of the screen. I immediately booked an appointment for this Saturday to get to a genius bar to get the phone looked at. I had this issue before with an iPhone 5S and the phone got replaced because I was told that they could not replace the screen as it would damage the finger print sensor. However today my phone has suddenly developed a hairline crack at the top of the screen over the front camera. I haven't dropped it or smashed it against anything. I have a screen protector on the phone and a case which confused me a little. I have my appointment with Apple tomorrow and I'm wondering what will happen. I'm more worried about the crack if anything! There is no other damage on the phone as I've had a screen protector and case on it from day one. Also the phone is still functioning as it always has. Any ideas anyone?

Since you've confirmed the device has physical damage, and since physical damage is not covered under the Apple hardware warranty, be prepared to pay either a $109 USD + tax fee to replace the screen or a $299 USD + tax out-of-warranty fee for whole unit replacement, depending on the results of Apple's inspection and the decision made by the Apple Store. You may get free service, but set your expectations to pay because of the physical damage, so that if you are given a better option, it is a pleasant surprise.
By the book, a damaged device, regardless of how it is damaged, involves some form of out-of-warranty cost, unless you have AppleCare Plus. In that case, you usually pay a deductible of $79 USD + tax.

Print a PO from a HP laserJet printer.

Hello All,
Could you please help me in finding out the solution for below issue.
" We have a requirement to print a PO from a HP laserJet printer. This has to come in Landscape. For that we have copied a device type HPLJ4 and a formato type as Z_LEGAL. We are un sure how to maintain the device type. Like the entried added for Printer Initialization, Reset after Exit, End of page, End of line etc. Who is supposed to maintain the same. Is it ABAP or who?. Is there any note to know how to maintain the format type and can we raise a ticket with SAP to provide the same.
Thanks,
Nikhil

Cleaning the guts of an HP B & W or Color LaserJet Printer

Hi:
I currently have an HP4M LaserJet printer...it appears to have "died" after 20 years.
I have had to do meticulous internal cleaning of it in the past, when I toner cartridge would go bad, dumping toner into the printer. With brushes, lint free cloths, etc, you could clean the inside of the printer, after removing a few items; e.g., the paper feed roller mechanisms, the fuse roller, etc. The 4M's HP User's Manual showed how to do this. If you take time to do it properly, ...and this usually requires several hours to do...you will end up with crisp clean printouts...no excess toner-speckling on the printouts.
I am considering replacing the 4M with one of the following HP Laser Printers.
HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer (B & W)
HP LaserJet Pro P1606dn Printer (B & W)
HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401n Printer (B & W)
HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dne Printer (B & W)
HP laserJet Pro 200 color Printer M251nw (Color)
Am I correct that B & W is not striclty Black or White but also includes Gray-Scale like the 4M did ?
The P1102 appears to have the same (or similar) toner cartridge mechanism that the 4M did.
When you rermove it, you can see the gear mechanisms, etc....not yet sure about the fuse roller.
The Pro 400 printers look very much like the 4M externally, but I do not yet know about the internals.
The M251nw is a different animal.
It has a metal slide-out tray that holds 4 toner cartridges which appear to be "rectanglular" in shape.
Can this tray be removed by the user (for cleaning) if a cartridge dumps toner into the printer ?
Is the fuse roller accessible to the user for removal and cleaning ?
I have looked through the M251's User Manual, and this level of cleaning is not covered.
It only covers "cleaning" like an inkjet does for cleaning the printheads.
Somehow, I would think that the user should have access to the guts of the printer,
since a Tech Support person would also have to disassemble the printer for cleaning.
if this information exist, where do I find it ?
Thank you
DaleBr

Colors are great because they provide you with color. But the cost of ownership is a lot higher because now you have 4 color toner cartridges. With the cost of toner cartridges hovering around US$130 each, you are looking at a cost of at least $520 in toner replacement costs. Granted you won't be using all the toner across the whole page but if you print photos or images, it will deplete quickly. Plus with 4 toner cartridges inside, the cartridges are fairly small.
Cost per prints for black and white hovers around 1 to 4 cents per copy. Color prints cost around 8 to 17 cents per copy. But I read somewhere from someone worker for a company selling the toner it can cost up to 30 to 75 cents per copy for a full page of color.
So in a nutshell, it's very expensive to have color.

LaserJet printer no longer works after installing Snow Leopard

Since installing Snow Leopard, my LaserJet printer no longer works. Spent 5 hours on the phone to Apple Support without any satisfaction. Any suggestions? I'm desperate.......

Go to the HP web site and download the latest drivers for your OfficeJet.

A HP4350TN Laserjet Printer and when i tried to get the software, I can't download it from your

I tried 4 times to download this software for the HP 4350 TN laserjet printer and it says Incomplete download and comes within 2 or 3 seconds of the complete download and it will not finish it. It does it for EVERY Program on this page under this printer. When you try to finish the download, it will tell you that it can't download this program. WHY, I need the printer drivers for my new printer!!

Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

Printing trademark symbol in HP laserjet printer

Hi,
I need to print trademark symbol (TM) from HP laserjet 4250 printer.
Since the SAP driver/device type does not have the character set containing tm symbol,
I am getting a # sign in the output.
I need to configure a custom character set with the symbol and for which I need the hex code of the trademark symbol corresponding to the specific HP laserjet printer.
I contacted HP global support but they could not tell me the hex code for a tm symbol in their printers.
Can anyone of you please let me know the code value or guide me where can I get it?
Regards,
Shuvendu

Hi,
I am sure these 2 notes will help you.

HP LASERJET PRINTER 1020 PLUS

Dear Sir / Madam
I WANT TO USE HP1020 PLUS LASERJET PRINTER WITH B& R PC . PC HAVING TWO FLASH CARD EACH HAVING MEMORY OF 1GB. WINDOW XP EMBEDDED SERVICE PACK-3
How much memory will be covered during printer driver installation.

Hello kavyasuresh,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
Thank you for posting your question regarding the LaserJet 1020 Plus and what system requirement are needed to install. I was able to find some information to answer this for you. It would appear that on XP the printer needs at least 128 MB of RAM and 150 MB of free disk space.
To view the information your self, it is available here: Product Specifications.
I hope this answers your question.

HP LaserJet printer won't work following update

I have just installed the latest Apple update for HP Laserjet printers (9 Sept 2008), and now my HP 2605dn color LaserJet printer won't work. Most applications just quit when I try to print; MS Word just hangs at the dialog box when I press Enter.
I can access the printer utility OK via the Print Preferences.
Has anybody any thoughts why this should be so, and how do I proceed to get my printer working again?
Thanks.

OK, I have just answered (part of) my own question.
Re-installing the HP Laserjet package has duplicated drivers for most of the HP laserjet printers in my list of drivers. If I select the second entry of the two identical appearances of the drivers for my printers, they start working again; if I select the first appearance they don't work. So now my printers are working again.
This still doesn't explain why Software Update prompted me to re-install an already installed package. It also gives me the issue of removing all the duplicate entries from my list of drivers, unless I am prepared to live with the clutter and waste of HD space. Any thoughts about how to do this without bombing my printers again?
Thanks.

HP laserjet printer P1102W not allowing to connect to mac OS 10.8

i recently purchased an HP laserjet printer P1102W and am having issues connecting to my mountain lion macbook pro. any suggestions?

I had a very difficult time getting the P1102W working wirelessly on a macbook pro with Mountain Lion, however I finally got it to work after countless hours of troubleshooting. I was able to successfully connect the printer to my wireless network WITHOUT having to perform an Ad Hoc wireless first as HP suggests in their support forums.
Here are the steps as accurately as I can remember:
1) Turn the printer off
2) Press and hold both the wireless and the cancel button, and then turn the product on
3) Hold the buttons until all the lights blink in unison, and then release the buttons.
4) Connect printer using USB cable & power on.
5) Check for apple software update from the App store. It will find and install an update for HP printers
6) Download and install the full software from HP, including the firmware update. here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-80684-8 &cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&product=4110396&sw_lang=
7) Open System Presferences in Mounatin Lion, select Print & Scan.
8) Make sure the P1102W printer is selected and Open Print Queue
9) Click Settings, then click Utility, then Open Printer Utility
10) Select Configuration page. This will bring up Safari and displays the printer's settings and this is where you can change the configuration.
From this point, whenever I made changes to the netowrking configuration using Safari and clicked Apply, the changes would not "stick", no matter how many times I tried. So, I thought it may be an incompatability with Safari, and sure enough it was. I downloaded Google's Chrome browser, pasted http://localhost:5050/SSI/Auth/ip_direct_print.htm into the address bar and hit return on the keyboard. The changes I made using Chrome applied successfully and I connected to my home's wireless.
Specifically:
11) Paste http://localhost:5050/SSI/Auth/ip_direct_print.htm into Chrome and hit return on the keyboard. It will load the printer Config page.
12) You may already be under Wireless Direct Setup, if not, select Networking, then Wireless Direct Setup.
13) Select your network name, use the << button to move it over to the other window.
14) For Authentication, selecte watever your network uses (propably WPA2) and enter password. Apply.
You will see the Blue light on the top of the printer turn on, flash and then go solid.
15) Disconnect the USB cable
You can now print wirelessly from your Mac, ipad or iphone running IOS5 or 6.
I hope that helps compensate for HP's lack of support using Mountain Lion.
