Free printer

HP CP2025. Got all the inks in it including one that's never been used. Also two more ink cartridges still in boxes. The printer prints more or less OK from the manual feed (jams now and then) but not from the tray at the bottom (jams immediately). The drivers are on the HP website. It's been a really good printer with superb quality but I really wouldn't know where to begin mending the paper feed.



Free but you'd have to collect it from S66. It's very heavy.

That is a colour laser printer btw!

Yes and the ink cartridges in it and with it add up to about £250!

Have you tried replacing the pick up rollers?

It was the first suggestion that popped up after typing hp cp2025 into google. Seems to be a common problem.

Bill Wright formulated on Thursday :

Toner cartridges!

Tim+ presented the following explanation :

I agree! The rollers are quite cheap for a set and usually you just clip them into place, no major disassembly.

  • you can find service manual online. Or just watch a Youtube video. And the roller only costs a few quid.

Actually they are toner, not ink, but if you spill any do not take it up with a vacuum cleaner, it will gum it all up. Brian

Yes I emailed him about that a while ago, the other thing is the gears lose teeth when the printer has a jam. Brian

Worse than that, is it not graphite that can get into the motor and cause a fire?

No, it's plastic.

will, however, pass through the filter of a typical vacuum, damaging the vac and dispersing itself into the air. It's not good to breathe in.

Correction, there is a carbon content in black toner, so you're right as well.

I find it's usually enough to give them a good clean with something a bit harsh like isopropyl, takes off the sheen that they develop.

So how do you clean it off a carpet?

And it is so fine that it can be blown out of the exhaust and can then be inhaled.

That certainly helped my laser printer.

I also avoid certain brands of paper as they give continual misfeeds.

Well the local Scouts seem interested (unless you decide to fix it).

It?s what ?all risks contents insurance? was made for. New carpet time. ;-)
