Default HP Laserjet 4000 paper jam and other issues.

Initially there was a paper jam from the paper tray 2 which is the drawer
that slides into the bottom of the printer.


Replace the feed roller RB1-8865 located above tray 2. If my
guess(tm) is correct, the printer has never had any of the rubber
parts replaced. Considering it's age, you might as well replace ALL
the rubber. Cheap enough:

The other malfunction
is that the pickup rollers for tray 2 are activated even if there is no
paper in the drawer.


Congratulations. Your printer also has the HP exclusive sticky
solenoid problem. How to fix it on an HP2200, HP2300, HP4250, etc.

Unfortunately, I haven't bothered to make a web page for the HP4000
series printers. It's similar to the others except that the solenoid
is buried under additional layers of metal plates. I suggest you take
photos to help with the reassembly.

Tear the printer apart. Find the sticky solenoids. Clean off the
sticky goo from BOTH the armature and solenoid core using solvent.
Apply thin felt as shown. Demagnetize the solenoid core if you
suspect that it's magentized.

Put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Be sure to thank HP for
ignoring the problem since the earliest HP laserjet printers.
