Hi. Remove the right hand cover. The solinoid is in between the two motors about about 2/3rds of the ways up. 2 screws and it comes out.

No, I am still investigating.
Can you tell me exactly where this actuator is? In the past I had #A1-4112 Error, and I fixed this by inserting new cushion.. and error is no more. Are you suggesting this may be the problem again?
Thanks,
Bojan

Hi,
I had the same problem with 6260FW. I've replaced cushion before, but this time it was a problem with that small spring in acutator (it looks like it was too weak). I've shortened it around 3-4mm and printer is working like new

If you were having a problem with the actuator it should give the error code.

Honestly, its worth just buying a replacement they are a few dollars, if that, and they were revised with better material to separate.

If there is a problem for example with pad, then yes, but in my case it was partially working (it was printing usually only one page) and you could hear clicks that it was skipping something.

Well, it is personal now between me and this printer, economy is irrelevant :-)

I don't think toners are the problem.. printer was working fine for years, and it started to misbehave after half of black toner in installed cartridges is spent.. and I tried with new cartridges, the intermittent behavior is the same.

The problem here is insufficient documentation, and imposed attitude by Samsung (and many other manufacturers/products): "easy repair - just replace modules, if it doesn't work just throw away, it's not worth the effort".
This philosophy doesn't work for me.
And, if I solve this problem, my effort could potentially help someone else.. so my time and effort will not be wasted (I hope).

So what it was?

After a year of not using my printer (new processor board, new laser unit, which did not help then), I tried again and it worked! .. for a while.. then I am back to the original problem.
Tried with new toner cartridges, same.
I am now concentrating on HV unit.. maybe the problem is there?

Me neither :-)
Funny thing is, no one had similar problem.. or?
And even funnier, I just slide opened toner cartridge tray, rocked cartridges a bit, closed it and it prints OK again.
So it seems I have a problem with HV contacts (or only one, which is common to all cartridges. Grounding on HV card?
