HP Laserjet 1300 yellow light STILL flashing

HP Laserjet 1300
I was printing a run of 60+ pages at around page 35 pages started coming out black (not solid but all over) with the yellow light flashing.
I've checked for jams (none) all doors closed and toner OK. After switching off and restarting light still flashing.
On your advice I have changed the toner cartridge - yellow light still flashing!!
Thanks for reininstall printer suggestion but I do not have an instalation CD

Re-installing the print driver will not solve a flashing light. If the printer is functionally ok, it will come to ready simply by plugging into the wall. It sounds to me like a fatal error at this point.....could be a long list of things, but I would lean towards a formatter board. bottom line with this printer at this point in it's life is, if it doesn't work, it's not worth fixing. Replaceable for about $100.

Change the toner cartridge and see if the problem is rectified. Sounds like a part failure in the cartridge. This can happen at anytime, but more so when the cartridge is at the end of its useful life

Normal 0 Driver could be corrupt.
Disconnect the printer or at least be sure it is turned off. I'd do both and reinstall the CD software program that came with the printer. When the software program asks you to connect the printer to the USB port, do so and it should again work properly.
Hope this helps. Bud

Everytime i print, my lj printer prints a whole page with black ink.

Does the black page come out first, and then your original print comes out fine ? If yes, you might try to update/replace your driver. Print from several applications and see if there some differense. It might be a software-error.

Or does the black page come instead of your original print ? If yes, try to replace your toner-cartridge. If the problem remains, there's some error in your High Voltage Power Supply and you might as well buy a new machine.

dear friend,
when the printer give you a yellow flash that should be means a fault happen so you have to do the following:
1- check if any messages appears on your computer when you trying to print something that should be help you. if not go to step 2
2- black paper may be come from the (P.C.R.) that is the charger of the drum, so if you can open your cartridge and check the charger at the op of the drum that will be good and if not you may change the cartridge and check again.
3- Also, you can release the cartridge and look inside the printer may be you can find something wrong or something need to fix
4- Other wise go to hp help center

I am getting verticle black streaks when I print, please help.

This is the test to determine toner or fuser issue.
Print a test page
When you hear the paper feed into the machine open the top to stop the machine
Remove the toner cart.
You should be able to see the page with printing on it. (This is before the page hits the fuser)
If you can see the smudge or marks on the page the problem is most likely the cartridge but NOT the fuser.
If the page is clean the problem is most likely the fuser.
Hope this helps

Color toners are empty

Press Green Tick, Right, -> System Setup -> Right, Right, -> Print Quality, Right -> Replace Supplies. Change from stop at out, to override at out. It'll let you print, and you'll get loads more out of your toner before the pages start to fade.

Try clearing the que. It may be the first job is to big for the memory. Also, be sure the printer is not in manual feed mode. The directions will be in the user manual if you are not sure how to change it.
