Poor print quality until I remove and replace each toner cartridge

I have an interesting situation that seems to have manifested itself recently. This is pretty reproducible.
The printer is in sleep mode
A color job is sent to the printer and the resulting print has no color and faded black and white
If I open the front panel and remove each cartridge, not even fully remove, and replace with itself, the color and quality is perfect.
Calibrating, diagnostics, etc. have not helped. Printing of the diagnostic page, or color bands, etc. yield the same results.
The paper comes out warm as it always has. The toner doors all open.
So, any ideas? Next steps to try?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi justviewing911,

  • 8800 keeps rebooting, then won't read sim until I remove and replace it.

    When I'm using my new 8800, the sceen will go black (and if I'm on a call it goes silent). Then the red light flashes before the screen comes back on (to what I was doing before it turned off), but the sim card stops working (I get no signal) and it says something like "memory card removed". I have to turn it off, remove the sim and place it back in for the sim to be read again.
    This has happened multiple times.
    How can I solve this problem?!
    Thank you.

    To check is it a software problem do the following.
    Backup all your sensitive data via BB Desktop Software.
    Important: Use "Advanced" feature of backup mechanism and save only  information which is necessary.
    Go to Options - Security Options - General Settings
    open menu and select "Wipe handheld"
    it will wipe the device memory from saved data, applications will remain.
    Now check the device and restore your data.

  • HP LaserJet 2600n poor print quality/streaking

    I am the original owner of an HP LJ 2600n with a poor print quality/streaking issue. The poor print quality occurs with any and all paper that I use (currently Hammerhill 20# stock) and occurred with Windows XP and Windows 7. The print cartidges are all genuine HP and changing them does not make any difference. I have cleaned the front door roller with no improvement.  My firmware version is 20070716. The black cartridge is at 33%; yellow 75%; cyan 91% and magenta 91%...
    Any advice would be appreciated. An example of the output is attached below:

    Hi everyone,
    I have resolved my problem. I took a leap and purchased a new toner cartridge, and the new catridge works great. Installed it yesterday and the test page comes out clean, clear and with no double image. I'm happy.
    Apparently the printer had not had a print item sent to it in over a year. I think that was actually hard on the toner cartridge.
    Tthanks to everyone for their help via private emails!

    Hi palygirl,
    If reseating the printhead in your Canon printer does not resolve the U052 error, it is recommended that you contact live technical support . There is NO charge for this call. Real time feedback of a live technical support call would be very beneficial in this case.
    Please dial 1-866-261-9362, Monday - Friday 10:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. ET (excluding holidays). A Canon technical support representative will be able to assist your further.

  • HP D1600 making machine gun noise and poor print quality

    Hello.
    Whenever I turn on the printer it makes a horrendously loud clicking noise like a machine gun being fired. It sounds fine during printing but the print quality is very low and it looks smeared. after printing the clicking resumes.
    I've checked to see if there's anything causing a jam but can't see anything. I've also cleaned the paper feed and the cartridges and aligned the cartridges but it's still the same.
    Please help

    Same engine as the CM2320 which means it has two motors on the right side and if one of them goes bad it will give the color bars across the paper.  To test just remove the right side cover and swap the motors since they are the same and see if the problem changes.

  • L7780 poor print quality after not using for 6 months

    Poor print quality after not using my printer for about 6 months.  Ran thru the tools (clean printhead, aligh, etc  . . .) didn't help. Replaced all chartridges, still no help. 
    I'm fairly tech savy, been in IT for 27 years starting with hardware support. 
    Question,  can I manually clean the printheads or should I just replace. I would rather try to clean them manually after just shelling out > $ 170 on new chartridges.
    thanks
    Brent 

    Hi @Brentl 
    Yes, you can clean the printhead and the inside of the printer. The following document will help; 'The Following Printheads are Missing or Damaged, Replace the Printhead' Message Displays on the All....

  • HP PSC 1600 All-In-One error message remove and replace color cartridge

    I get the remove and replace color cartridge and printer or scanner won't work. I have replaced the cartridge with new ones twice and it still happens. Just installed a new HP color cartridge and no luck. I've tried everything I can think of.
    Please, does anyone have any other suggestions????
    Thank you,

    Hi MJKEL,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with errors on the printer pertaining the ink cartridges.
    I do have a few steps that we can try in the attempt to troubleshoot this issue.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    I have also located a documet that deals with A 'Remove and Check [color / black / photo] Cartridge' Error Message Displays on the Printer Control...
    Please feel free to write me back if you have any other questions or concerns.
    Cheers,

  • Poor print quality through photoshop CS 6 using HP 7520

    Hi Im having poor print quality (muddy) dense, I might not have the proper color management or printer profile loaded on the HP 7520. using Windows 7 (64) bit.
    Thanks
    Bill

    Well, I guess it is all about the paper.
    I started using Premium Ink Jet paper which cleaned up the printing a great deal. Standard quality settings now produce just faint imperfections but higher quality settings eliminate them entirely.
    One of those "you get what you pay for" issues I guess.

  • Satellite A30-921: How to remove and replace the memory?

    hi, can anyone help me how to remove and replace the memory of sat A30-921. and also, please give a detailed instruction.
    thank you in advance.

    Hi
    There is no much to explain. At the bottom side in the middle there is placed memory cover (fixed with two screws). Remove the cover and you will see 2 slots there. I dont know how much memory has you there but as Stefan said you can use max 2 GB of RAM (2x PC2700 1024MB - PA3313U-1M1G). How to remove memory modules you can see on http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/189/5
