20 Most Recent HP DeskJet 3820 InkJet Printer - Page 4 Questions & Answers

Yeah, I junked it and bought a new one thanks for nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had the same trouble with a rebuilt cart from Staples, try HP brand or Nukote brand. Nukote cost less and work great for me!

If you love it (3820) better learn how to clean the service station or it will shear the gears and be done.
See my post under the blinking light problem with 3820s.
I really like the printer and wish someone had told me this before mine broke. No answer for your question, but HP.com should have manuals as a pdf download.

Try downloading fresh drivers for Vista from http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=75045&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=75045&dlc=en&lang=en
cheers

1) take a flash light and inspect the paper path just to make sure there really is nothing there.

2) print a test page from the printer by pressing the big button ( I think) one of the buttons, can't remember I work on so many models

3) take out cart. turn off then on, install cart. and do step 2

what happens

I would check out the paper pickup roller (and any other rollers. They may be dirty or jammed. Also, blow out the inside with low pressure compressed air and clean with a papertowl and 90% isopropyl alcohol. Most problems I have encountered like this are little bitty ink soaked pieces and paper "dust" gumming up the works. 90% of most problems in anything like this is paper "dust" and dried ink. You should wear latex "medical type" gloves when performing this. If you get ink on your fingers, a 50/50 solution of bleach and water will get it out.

Question edited for a lot more clarity. It usually depends on the lights and the colours https://www.google.com/search?q=HP+Color+LaserJet+3600+Printer.+I+have+2+flashing+lights Page 155 and 156. http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00390162.pdf ..

you need to do factory rsest of the printer

Hello. First of all I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year! I recently bought a HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3515 printer. The printer works fine (prints, scans and copies). There is only one problem with it. It returns me an error when I'm shutting it off. This happens very often but not always, it is kinda annoying. The error is displayed as: ERROR CODE 0X02B7C2ED SM_MODULE C (the error is also shown on the image). I tried to Google the problem but without effects. I don't know what could be the problem. Can someone help me please, because I have no idea what could be the issue. Thanks for any replays.

If you are using a Windows PC, search for devices and printers. Once you find the printer, right click on it, go into printing preferences and you should find a tab in there that will all you to disable color. If you want to be able to print in both and black will not print, make sure your black ink cartridge is not empty or that it is properly installed.

check it`s sensor

Check the paper size settings to match the loaded paper. This would happen (for example) if you have loaded A4 paper but your driver is set to print on letter format. Letter is wider than A4 by 6mm and while the printer is trying to print near to the right side, assuming the paper is wider, part of the ink goes on the paper support. Other reason may be the paper size in the document is set to be larger than the loaded paper format and driver prints only what can be fit on the loaded paper.

1) Open the printer cover and wait till the carriage moves towards the middle. 2) Force press the printer's Power button to turn it off. Remove the power cord from the back of the printer. 3) Remove the print cartridges and place it on a small sheet with the nozzle plate facing upward. 4) Slightly wet a cotton swab with distilled water. Clean the face and edges of the face cartridges with the swab. 5) Wipe the underside of the print cartridge cradle walls using a swab. Reinsert the print cartridges. 6) Close the printer cover. Connect the power cord at the backside of the printer.

On the control panel, select scan to computer and choose PDF. If you are using the sheet feeder, it will scan all pages and create one file with them all. OR If you're using a scanner glass, i.e. one page at a time, when the first page finishes scanning, you will get a message asking if you have another - answer YES and follow the instructions (basically that means place next page on scanner glass and hit OK/Continue). Rinse and repeat until you've scanned all pages then answer NO. You should find a PDF file in your HP Scan Folder usually named "scan.pdf" unless you've changed the settings. (If there is/are already scanned files in that folder, they will have consecutive numbers, e.g. "scan001.pdf" "scan002.pdf" etc

www.hp.com/support enter printer model and number and run diagnostics with your printer connected to your PC or Laptop.

Possible cable problems. Also mine shows offline if the power button on the printer is off

I have had this happen in windows operating system. It was caused by a corrupt user profile. You can try control panel users accounts. Try modifying the user account type like changing the permissions and windows should re save the user profile . then change it back to what it was. or look at https://neosmart.net/wiki/corrupt-user-profile/
