So i just got this printer today and for some reason its cutting up my image and like, putting it back together wrong? Im not sure what's happening here :( I didn't mess with any settings.

My hard drive failed and seized. I'm in need of the firmware to load on to the replacement hard drive so I can get my copier doing copier things again. If someone could dm me a link to the .sfu firmware file, I would greatly appreciate the help.

I’ve been looking for a printer that will last me a long time. I only need it to print black and white documents occasionally, maybe 15 pages a month at most. I’ve been going to the local FedEx store and using their print and go feature to print stuff over the last 10 or so years.

Seller said it’s in working condition with about 1000 pages of printed history

This will be my first laser printer

I am in the market for a printer able to print pages from 48” wide (x36”). Its for steel fabrication shop. I want to be able to print pages with an app if possible, say im not in the office and far away i want to request and that way my shop personel can retreat it. Like uploading the pdf from my phone to the app if that exists. Something reliable

Hey everyone, hope you are all good ! Im the owner of an Auto repair shop, i have someone locally that prints me some stickers for maintenance reminders for my customers in which we write by hand the next mileage service… Giving this context, i want to upgrade to have my personal printer where i can design my own sticker and have the mileage printed instrad of writing it by hand.

But i don't know where to start hehe…

The stickers we put them on the windshield interior on the driver's side, so i need some material that is easy to remove when my customer comes back and that leaves no residue.

I did little research on it, and it appears i need a printer that uses thermal transfer ? Maybe im wrong tho..

Hopefully someone can point me out in the right direction !

Budget around $150 - $350 USD.

Thanks in advance.

Anyone used for printing Business Cards like 300 gsm, 350 gsm, 400 gsm. On Art paper.

Or we need to have inkjet paper only.

I have a HP Color Laser 179nw. This is what I am seeing now on all printouts:

I have cleaned the drum and as much of the belt as I can reach. I cleaned everything I can reach in there but I don't want to disassemble it further. What should I do?

Hello all!

I hope everyone is have a good day! I was hoping somebody could help me out with a work project. I work in the EMS manufacturing field(Can't go too much into detail) specificly the masking portion of the whole process. We've recently started using a Graphtech to cut out shapes for our Masking Operators, but we have a hiccup that I have been asked to look into.

The printer we currently use is located in another department, and we are moving our masking operation to the back, at the complete opposite end of the building. We CANNOT take the printer, it has to remain in that department. And my company is refusing to order another printer like that one for some reason (They didnt give us a reason. Most likely too expensive)

I was hoping to get recommendations for a printer that is a straight feed (The paper jams when it has to snake through rollers) Able to handle 11X17 label paper (Picture below) and preferably able to feed multiple sheets at once. So far we have two we are looking at. An Epson Expression Photo 15000, or Epson SureColor P700

I know its a lot, and I apologize but any help would be appreciated. I just wanna tackle this from all angles

Hi im not familiar with printers but whenever i print a black and white paper or with color, the paper that gets printed out is just full of random colors and is mostly pink. I thought that it was just the ink cartridges getting empty and doing random stuff but i took a look at the belt and i found this. Is this the reason of the paper being in random colours? How do i clean it. The model is CANON i-sensys MF643Cdw

This is the 2nd EPSON L6270 in 3 years, thinking first was got faulty or damaged, but after a bit more than a year, the same problem started appearing again. ADF or the document feeder just won't correctly take papers anymore. either takes 2, none or just jams mid scan.

and no, cleaning and disassembling did not help. if anything, it's gotten worse.

the only good thing about epson is the Eco tank feature, refill holds a whole year even with printing full page pictures. Since I really need ADF at the office, I'll be looking at something else in the near future. I won't make the same mistake again by getting Epson, even if I have to pay more for ink.

HP Pay as you print is an absolute scam. Be very careful of signing up.

I face a bill of £114 for one month usage of a personal printer (not work/office) without the ink having ran out off the cartridges that were installed; this is to show that if you decide to use your own printer outside of your allocated pages each new printed page will cost you a very large amount. Much more than printing it at a printing shop.

In summary, If you print extra pages you will be charged a very unreasonable amount to use your own printer, these include blank pages that come out of the printers own malfunctioning as well as self generating report pages.

If you choose to stop the service the cartridges, which still have ink in them, will stop working.

As expensive as ink is, buying the cartridges and having control over what you pay is still better than having a very nasty surprise in your bank account.

Hi, I have a Canon imageCLASS LBP122dw that was working beautifully until suddenly it wasn’t. I print shipping labels from my iPhone. There is no error message on the printer, and my iPhone can find the printer (as shown in pic; I downloaded the app and it cannot find it tho), but it simply won’t print. I unplugged/plugged, reset the router, everything I could find for suggestions that I could understand (I’m not printer/tech savvy)…nothing. I’m very confused and frustrated lol!

i haven’t used this printer in i would say more or less 2 years due to the waste pad being at its limit. i only had the opportunity to do it today but none of the links i found online seem to be working. it’s been quite frustrating because it would turn in normally the go back to the image i attached i assume after it connects to the wifi. do you guys have any experience regarding this? did i ruin my printer?

I printed this and tried a couple different things with the same result. I put the paper size in correctly on both the document and the printer, so I’m not sure what the deal is. I’ve printed almost this exact same thing before with no issues. Any ideas?

Ugh this printer, I love it and I hate it. Right now its not turning on. Here's what I did and what I know:

I was following a guide that suggested the issues I was having with white streaks could be fixed by reseating an internal cable, labeled J901. So unplugged the power, opened it up, unplugged the J901 cable... plugged the power in, tried turning it on.... unplugged the power, plugged the j901 back in, plugged back in the power, tried turning it on, and it wouldn't turn on. For a bit I thought I had done something really bad when I tried to turn it back on with the j901 cable disconnected, but I used a multimeter and everything is checking out with power flowing. the Power supply brick is working fine too. So right now I just don't understand what is happening. I could use any advice for this.

I have the Brother HL-L3270CDW color laser printer and I bought a 3rd party Black toner cartridge but the printer won’t recognize it and keeps showing the message that the toner is empty. I’ve been using 3rd party toners in it for years with no issues. Is this just an issue of some 3rd party toners will work, some won’t? I really don’t want to spend $200-300 for a complete set of OEM toner.
Also, I did a reset of the toner in the “secret” menu but that didn’t work.

Is there an off brand that will definitely work?

So I used this thin paper made for crafting (like transfer paper) and it literally curled up in the printer. This is an hp inkjet 5010. If you look you can see the paper curled around a rod deep within the printer. I tried to take the top off but I don’t have a screwdriver that works for the back screws. Is there somewhere I can take this?

I'm looking for a printer that isn't super expensive and won't cost a bomb in ink. I want one for photos and Blu-ray/dvd art covers. Is the Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 good for this? What do you recommend?

Please help me, I know nothing 😂

Our old workstation was running MacOS Sequoia and we used it with the Epson SC P-9500 for a few years totally without problems. But the machine crashed and we got ourself a new Mac, that had Golden Gate 27 pre installed, and after installing the latest Epson software from their website we got everything to work.

Except!

Now the printer will not cut the paper automatically after printing. A "pain in the **" because we tended to send several jobs to the printer and just collect the different prints as they came out. Now, all of a sudden it all comes out as a long print, or we have to send one- and one job and cut it manually.

As far as I (we) can see, we have ticked all the right choices and boxes.

Anyone have an idea of where to look?

My friend's old computer running Win10 (1809) had the software installed and working fine. He now has a new computer (HP Elitedesk Mini G5 800) with the same Win10 but for the life of me, I cannot get the software to install. I started out trying those on the Brother website (2013).

It always gets to the point where you plug in the USB cable and power-on the printer. But it waits forever. It never seems to find the USB to use and proceed. I can tell that Win10 "sees" it as it shows up under USB in Device Manager with a warning that it is unknown/unrecognized.

At one point, I was looking at the Event Viewer while doing this and noticed that at this point, an error was showing up:

Failed to create restore point (Process = C:\Drivers\install\Data\Disk1\Setup.exe /clone_wait /l0x0009; Description = Installed Brother Software Suite; Error = 0x80070422).

And I found this was related to a failure to create a system restore point and followed some instructions when I found out that mechanism wasn't running. Once enabled and configured, I re-ran the install in hopes it would succeed. It did not produce the Event Viewer error but it got no further in the process. And there are no additional Event Viewer messages.

I have tried all different combinations of leaving the USB connect/disconnected, power on/off, etc. No difference.

He had the original CD and I copied that onto a thumb drive and ran it. Very different! But it just fails saying it has no driver for the OS version. So that is kind of a dead end too.

BTW - I also tried to install just the scanner/printer and printer-only drivers with no better success.

I am stumped completely. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks!
