I disassembled an HP P1006 printer and cleaned all parts and elements including the gears, etc.

So I re-assembled the printer again and connected to power supply.

Now I’m sending print commands to the printer, I can receive and interpret the print command, feed the paper successfully.

Now the problem is in the results, after printing, it just prints toner (maybe raw toner) on the paper, and you can clean it by hand!!!

Some more info:

The resulted paper is a little bit hot.

Paper smells abnormally.

Printed paper has lots of white dots and holes inside it.

Please see the photos which I’ve taken and uploaded.

P.S. I’ve posted HP P1006 topic inside HP 1012 because there isn’t any HP P1006 topin in forum.

Best regards.

I think the unreadable string of text is from the ink running out but I am including an image just in case.

This printer has been my “go to" for years when I need to run rough drafts or make visual notations on a document for a guide I am making modifications to as an example. The ink is cheap and I can keep the wear off of my real printer.

However, I went to use it and it was a bit difficult to setup but I clearly got it going. However, it now makes those noises when I run a long print job (even with 2 page merging as I did for this to cut back on paper use). It persisted through the job (10 page) so I suspect it'll never go away.

Does this sound like a motor issue or something I can solve with new white lithium grease? I know where to get some so it isn't a problem to apply new stuff but it also sounds like a bad motor. I'm really looking for a second opinion on the issue. It's always made sounds someone who doesn't know better that sound bad but this is bad enough it's beyond a PEBCAK error.

I tried using white lithium grease on the gearbox in the printer (and the rail the ink carrier is on) and it doesn't make a difference. It still sounds awful.

The display of my HP LaserJet 2700 don't work.

Only the backlighting and the LED are working.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards

I would feel better removing the hard drive, but I cannot find anything on the internet as to where it is located.

It has a new black cartridge and half full color cartridge. The 1st print came out light blue/grey even though I chose black print. Now it acts like it's printing but paper comes out blank.

So, just heard about this site on the (Aus)ABC radio national programme, The Science Show, and I am delighted you exist, and about bloody time someone did this. I do have a small complaint though. During the show Mr Weis spoke so fast half of what he said was an inaudible blur. Please ask him nicely if he can slow down and then we won't miss half of what he said, after all, I want to hear what he says because it's bloody good.

But back to my printers. I now need to fix them, because all three have packed up due to a computer error message and it is driving me nuts. I get 10,000 pages from a cartridge, and I refill all my cartridges myself, that includes both colour printers. It's a quarter of the cost of buying replacement cartridges, and I never buy originals because they are stupidly expensive.

Stick with me, I'll get to the point... I want to fix my B&W printers because they are too good to throw away, and I hate wasting stuff. So, I look up your printer list and mine is not on there, no surprise really because technically they are bloody dinosaurs. Guess what, so am I...sort of, and I work pretty good... most of the time. So, can you please give me some help to get at least one of my B&W printers working again... pretty please? I really don't want, need nor can I afford a new printer.

Note. Currently I am using the black cartridge in my colour printer, but that's a big beast, uses more energy, etc and only does 6,000 pages not 10,000. Also it doesn't double sided copies.

I love this site, this idea that things can and should be fixed. I think that all companies who deliberately date their stuff by fixing the life of a product should be surgically implanted with a use by self destruction device, somewhere personal... or maybe something that renders them imobile and dependant on outside help... and leave it there until they agree to not build stuff with built in short life redundancy! They are in my mind, petty, short sighted, greedy and selfish little *************** and they are also wrecking our world long term.

I so much look forward to your reply.

Great site, great thinking and a great idea...see we did do things smarter when I was a kid! Shut up millenials! And, I hate Apple crap!
