    Laserjet 3 config report

    I need to know if you can print a configuration page from a HP Laserjet 3. If so, what is the procedure?

    Is this for an Antiques store? No config report I know of. Self test prints, engine test prints. Any other help?/

      No config page that I know of on these antiques. Just a self test, which is just a demo print. No real config data on it. =^..^=
      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

        We are trying to upgrade an account that has several of these old machines. No big deal, just wanted to see actual volume if possible. Thanks.

              I had to go find the manual. They used to put those on paper in the before time of the long long ago. Ok
              3P: Press and hold the <Online>,<Menu>,and<Enter> while turning on. Makes a blank display. Press <Form Feed> then <Enter>. Should say SMODE and page count should be underneath.

                  Laserjet 3 config report

                  actually 3P is a little different than laserjet 3 when going into service mode, but not much. The following procedure gets you into service mode for the laserjet 2,2D,3, & 3D printers:

                  Press ON LINE, CONTINUE/RESET and ENTER/RESET MENU simultaneously while turning the printer on.

                  Press CONTINUE/RESET, and then press ENTER/RESET MENU. After a few seconds the printer should display SERVICE MODE.

                  You know, my company sells parts and we still sell the fusers and AC power supplies for these things. If fact we have a hard time keeping them in stock. Which is amazing considering how old they are and that the parts are likely more money that an entire rebuilt one of these printers.
                  Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".
