Paper Jam - HP Laser Jet series II, Apple LaserWriter II NT
HP Laser Jet series II; Apple LaserWriter II NT
I have one of each. These are getting up in years; the HP has slots for the additional font cartridges. I think they are PostScript printers. They use the HP 92295A toner cartridge. Both have the same problem - paper jam. The paper will be pulled out of the tray for a few inches, and then the machines stop. The city will be having its special pickup soon, and before I stick one or both out for that, or before I Freecycle one, is there a quick fix for this? If it's an "everyone knows that one" as opposed to a "could be a lot of things" problem, I don't mind attempting a repair. I have other laser printers, so it's not mandatory that I get these running. I don't have the service manuals for these. Thanks in advance. |

Hi!
I would look at the pick roller...that is the somewhat large rubber roller hanging down above the cavity for the paper tray. You can see it with a flashlight. It's cheap and not all that hard to replace. The LaserWriter will be a PostScript printer. The LaserJet is a PCL printer, unless someone added a "Postscript personality" module to it. I've seen them for the LJIII at least. William |

(Use commercial solvent, not fingernail polish remover which has oil in it.) |
