20 Most Recent HP Hewlett Packard LaserJet 2605dn Printer Questions & Answers

Often you will need to run 2-3 complete calibration cycles in a row to get the colors to align properly. And make sure that if you have the option for full calibration you run that, not a quick calibration although my memory tells me that there is only one option on this printer.

If your printer squeaks or squeals then i would stop using it and call HP 800-474-6836 provide them your serial number so they can check to see if it's still under warranty this printer needs service

Please refer here to myearlier solution to the same problem, which was very helpful.
Let me know if any further clarification/ assistance is required.

Good Luck!
Appreciate generously, if the solution could have been of any help!

The 2600's and 2605's share the same problem.
The scanner has to be removed and cleaned because magenta toner builds up on the laser scanner mirror.
You need a service manual.

Hi,
Unfortunately there is nothing to do, if the fuser is damaged it must be replaced, and chances are that your printer is out of warranty.

try unplugging the network cable from the printer then back in. or restarting the printer, same thing happens here at school

Smeared output can result when you refeed a printed page into the printer to make a double-sided page. This happens because the rubber rollers that grip the paper to pull it into the printer can pick up toner from the first side’s printing and smear it. So before replacing parts, this is an easy thing to check. Printing multiple pages consecutively will make the pages print progressively cleaner or you can clean the rollers with rubbing alcohol.

Smeared toner also happens because the nonstick coating on the fusing roller is scratched or has baked-on debris. This can happen if the printer is in a dirty environment especially. If you are comfortable removing the fuser, you can try to clean it with a soft cloth and alcohol, but make sure you let it cool down first!

Finally, if this does not resolve your issue then make sure the fuser is heating; toner that is not heated properly will fall from the page and smear. If the thermostat is bad or the fuser not working properly, you will most likely need to replace the entire fuser assembly. This will be pretty expensive to repair so hopefully it's one of those other issues.

Probably a dirty laser unit.

It's cleanable (but you need to take care

1 not to scratch any of the surface silvered mirrors.

2 not to disturb the alignment of any of the optical components.

It's quite a bit of dismantling (you start from the back of the printer and work your way 'into' it until you get to the laser unit). Youcan then remove the laser unit, open it up and clean it.

Duplexing on that model is controlled solely via the driver. According to HP's public support site Windows 7 should have the proper driver preinstalled for this model. If not, go to Microsoft Update and search under the Optional Software. HP doesn't have the Windows7 driver available on its website at the moment.

Greetings,

Well you've stumped me here. I have never heard of either a "L" or "C" path.

What exactly do you mean and what exactly are you trying to do?

Don

Press the "check mark" on the control panel. Press the > until you see "reports". You are looking for "Reports" or "config reports" Hit the "check mark" and print the Config Report. It will tell you how much memory it has.

The printer will have a 120v fuser, unkess that has been changed for a 220v fuser, it won't get up to temprature on 220v, hence the error message.

It needs a 220v fuser.

This is a common problem on these printers.

Cause is dirty lenses and or mirrors in the laser unit.

Solution is remove laser unit, open it, clean lenses and mirrors (very carefully to avoid disturbing alignments, and scratching).

The laser unit is deep in the printer, so it's quite a lot of work, but very rewarding when you've fixed it.

Alternatives - buy a replacement laser unit and swap and clean old one at leisure, or get an exchange refurb printer - if you think your mechanical skills arn't up to it.
