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.

Hi Jeff,

I did clean (though probably not well enough) the sticky stuff off of the
solenoid which is used to control the lower "D" rollers. I used some
electrical tape as was suggested in the fix. Is the purpose of the felt or
electrical tape to muffle the sound when the solenoid is energized or is
there a mechanical reason as well? I'll take it out again, put some dc on
it, and see how it operates. I'll also replace the rubber parts.

Thanks for your reply.
