20 Most Recent HP LaserJet 8150 Printer Questions & Answers

Question edited for clarity full 'make model (what it is). Question moved to correct HP Category. It sounds like you have a drive issue, broken drive chain or belt. You will need HP service. https://www.google.com/search?q=HP+LaserJet+8150+Printer.+not+lifting+paper+tray+2 ..

EIO is the External Input Output slot that is on the formatter of the printer. the 8150 has 2 EIO slots (EIO 0 or EIO 1). One of the slots is probably the JetDirect card (network card) for the printer. The second slot might be a hard drive but is usually open. If you are getting a EIO error first try reseating the JetDirect card (power off the printer first). If you are still getting the error pull the card and power up the device with out the card installed. if the error goes away power down the unit and install the card in the other EIO slot. if the card works you have a bad slot on the formatter but you should be good to use the device. If you get another EIO error the card is probably bad.

I have an idea of what the problem is but could you please elaborate.

Replace Fuser and cleaned compartiment

If that still doesn't work, try a cold reset with the card installed (hold down the green button as you power on, in 5-10 seconds the display will flash cold reset and you can let go and see if the printer comes to ready) Good luck! :)

Here is the step by step guide to resetting that message.Reset the "Pages Since Last Maintenance by using this procedure:

1. Turn off the printer.
2. Hold down the left side of the ITEM and VALUE keys at the same time.
3. Turn on the printer.
4. Wait for RESET MAINT\\COUNT to display, and then release the keys.
5. Allow the printer to initialize normally. The display will read "READY ".

Turn off the "PERFORM PRINTER MAINTENANCE message by following these steps:

1. Press the MENU key until the display reads CONFIGURATION MENU .
2. Press the ITEM key until the display reads MAINTENANCE MESSAGE=ON .
3. Press the -VALUE+ key once. The display should read MAINTENANCE MESSAGE=OFF .
4. Press the SELECT key to put an asterisk by the setting and save it.

Usualy that is an JetDirect card error. Try with another JD card.

Although it's not for the same model, this forum post may help you. HP Laser printers are all very similar mechanically.

Could be the rubber roller that feeds paper through to the toner. Use a product called rubber rejuvenator which you can find at a Staples or Office depo...Spray it on the roller and it should soften the rubber and allow for the roller to grip the paper better. It could also be the flap on your toner getting stuck and not allowing the paper to pass through.

It is located in the back of the printer on the bottom. Remove the back cover. With the power off, remove the formatter board by loosening the two big screws and pulling out. Remove the plastic cover by the side of the formatter cage. Remove the fan housing by the power connector by removing the two screws, disconnect the cable and pull straigt out. Now remove the big cable at the top and unwind from the high voltage ps. Remove the white connector in the middle of the low voltage ps. Next trace the white cable wires running from the ps to the dc controller and remove the cable from the dc controller. Now trace the fan cable for the fan in the front of the ps and remove it from the dc controller. Remove all the screws which secure it to the frame and pull straight out. Move the fan in front from the old ps to the new and reverse instructions...
Take off the large metal side cover. Look down at the bottom of the printer. The large box is the LVPS. Remove the screws holding it and follow the wiring up to where it plugs in and pull the connectors off. You'll also have to remove the fan above the LVPS on the top right side of it. You will have to take the fan mounted on the LVPS off and put it on the replacement LVPS as they don't come with fans.
