Wait a minute... I just noticed I'm now listed as a Technician, did a mod think I did such a good job at fixing my machine that I deserved this title?

If so, thank you. Or does the title come with...

Now that the printer is fixed I'm more tempted to try to fix the ADF.

The issue is that the roller never moves down to pickup the sheet. I noticed if I smack the top of the ADF fairly hard during...

Barely a week after I fixed my HP LaserJet CM3530 it's now saying "Jam in Tray 2"

Happy April Fools

Manual confirms this:

If you are transporting the printer, do the following to prevent ink leaking from the printer or other damage from occurring to the printer:
–Make sure you turn off the...

There's something I forgot to mention, while re-assembling it there are two times I noticed I had cables pinched under a guide or passing at the wrong place so I had to start removing screws and I...

I have used it and finished the included color cartridge in 3 days and the black cartridge in maybe a week and replaced both (it comes with 30% filled cartridges of course).

I know inkjet...

When my HP Color LaserJet failed about a month ago, I bought an inkjet printer to keep my business going and to have as a backup next time I have an issue with the LaserJet.

I decided to get the...

I figured it could be a label peeling risk but when I look at the paper paths Tray 1 seems to be at far greater risk of peeling labels.

Paper from Tray 1 (fold out MP tray) turns "outward" at...

For some reason just after my printer broke (which I've finally fixed) I realized I should put label sheets in Tray 2 as I don't really use it and I print lots of labels for products I sell and...

Thanks for the explanation. I was also wondering within the fuser drive assembly itself what happens when the solenoid is inactivated vs activated. It seems like its hook catches a notch on one of...

I'm done with re assembly, I did indeed fix error 59.F0, but not entirely surprisingly I caused a new problem.

When trying to make a copy the paper from tray 3 (the optional 500 sheet tray) jammed...

Thanks for all the info, I'm now re-assured about re-assembling it.

I know you suggested I finish the job the same day but I did put the new fuser drive assembly and re-installed the main drive...

Any info on my apparently non sticking solenoid? Does this mean this wasn't the broken part? Or is sticking for so little time that it's not noticeable to the naked eye but enough to trigger this...

It's taking time but I finally removed the main drive assembly (was aligned perfectly) and the fuser drive assembly and am now very worried.

I had read error 59.F0 was caused by the solenoid...

I don't know if they changed the internal design but on mine every plug is black and all wires are purple. I did take photos (one attached) but some plugs seem to be the same size and next to each...

Some plugs are similar if not identical and come from the same bunch of wires so I wouldn't trust photos.



I noticed the manual lists the number for each plug, I'll use my label printer to...

I'm at the DC Controller PCA and there are many similar/identical plugs next to each other.

Is there a trick to know what cable goes where? I don't feel safe disconnecting any of them until I have...

Disassembly in progress, going well so far but I'm intrigued by this warning:

WARNING! Do not remove the ICB from a product and then install it into a different product. Failure
to follow this...

I've looked through the service manual and see there are at least 18 components in the way to remove. One part I expected I haven't seen in the manual is the CBA, you would think with the amount of...

I think I feel ready to do this repair tomorrow/Saturday.

One last question I have, if I need to remove the cartridges and ITB, do they need to be protected from light the time they are outside...

Looking at the instructions to remove the main drive assembly it doesn't seem as bad as I thought.

When you say it's out of alignment, do you mean the actual assembly is crooked? Don't the screws...

My colors weren't messed up at all before it failed, does this mean my main drive assembly isn't out of alignment?

It's hard to tell as I haven't seen a video of removing the main drive assembly,...

I'm curious to know why you say it's probably out of alignment? Just due to age or is it related to the error I'm getting?

Is it just me or does removing the main drive assembly seem to double the...

As mentioned in another post this printer is dead for now but I want to try to fix it and I just remembered it's had an issue for years with the ADF that never really bothered me as I virtually never...

Thanks a lot for the service manual, it explains how to remove the scanner/control panel top which I hadn't found a video on how to do.

Another concern I have is one video in a foreign language...
