How to Identify and Fix Common Problems ?
Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced technical support :
Manually Reset the Fuser Page Count
Press the Down Arrow until you highlight “Configure Device”. Press the Checkmark button to select “Configure Device”. Press the Down Arrow until you highlight “Resets”. Press the Checkmark button to select “Resets”.
Any of these error codes (51.2c , 51.2m , 51.2y , 51.2k) points to a failure with one of the laser scanner assemblies on the HP Color LaserJet 4600 series. To solve this error code, replace the corresponding laser scanner.
This error is a motor error. The C0 probably refers to the alienation motor. Replacing the alienation motor may resolve your issue. If not maybe there is a damage in your main gear assembly.
Recommended action. Turn the printer off, wait 15 seconds and turn the printer back on (using the power switch located on the back of the printer). The error code should not appear again.
Laser printer fusers adhere toner powder to a page using a combination of heat and pressure. Error 50.5 occurs when the fuser fitted physically but the printer has specifically identified it as wrong.
60 Black drum motor rotation abnormality.
Common causes include dust and grime, worn rollers, or inappropriately weighted paper. Prevent paper jams by regularly cleaning your printer and replacing parts as needed. Check the weight of paper that your printer is rated for as well. The printed product is faded.
Most printers will stop working when they`re out of paper, ink or toner, or if the unit detects an issue with the ink or toner cartridge. When this occurs, you might receive an error message or notice blinking green or amber lights on your printer.
55 error codes are NVRAM issues and rarely caused by the cartridge. Bad power is a common cause. Make sure the printer is plugged directly into the wall outlet and not into a surge protector, multi outlet strip or UPS.
Check for excessive wear on gears in Main Drive Assembly
An issue was identified with the material in one of the gears in the Main Drive Assembly for some of the early production units. This issue would cause excessive wear on the gear that eventually results in a 59.0C/59.00. C0 error.
The Power button is blinking. This condition might be caused by an open ink cartridge access door, an empty input tray, a paper jam, or a carriage jam. An error message might display on your computer. If a `paper jam` error message displays on your computer, try the steps to clear the paper jam.
Wipe the sensor window with one of the cotton swabs provided in the Printer Cleaning Kit, slightly dampened (not soaked) with isopropyl alcohol, to remove dried ink. If the sensor window is heavily coated with dry ink, you may need to apply some pressure while wiping, helping the cotton to absorb the ink.
Power outages do not only cause downtime and delays. They may also damage your equipment, including your DTF transfer printer.
Turn the printer off. Disconnect the power cable from the printer for 30 seconds and then reconnect. Turn the printer on while you press and hold the Resume button for 10-20 seconds.
System error 56:10 is displayed on the printer`s front panel. This error can be caused by the use of an unsupported media type (i.e. lightweight or slick) or a problem with the Drive Roller encoder sensor.
5. Replace the dc controller. In most Laserjets, a 52 error means the scanner motor is rotating at the wrong speed or not at all. In the case of the 5000 and 5100, it can also mean the scanner shutter failed to open because a lever in the printer was not actuated due to a missing toner cartridge fin.
Turn the product on while you press and hold the Resume button for 10-20 seconds. The Attention light turns on. Release the Resume button. The Attention and Ready lights cycle while the product restores factory defaults.

ANSWER : What about the engine test? To do that, drop down the front tray. Feel around on the left side at the top and you’ll feel a little plastic dongle. If you lift up on that it will initiate an engine test page. That will be a page containing lines of each color.

My 2550n Color LaserJet does not want to print in color
ANSWER : That model had issues with the carousel solenoid sticking. That might explain why it works after you let it sit for 10 minutes. The solenoid gets hotter with use which causes the deteriorated foam on it to become sticky and hold down the release plate instead of letting it go. This allows the carousel to spin when it is supposed to stop for each color. The solenoid is located on the right side of the printer. If you open the lid, it is just behind the opening at the top right. You need to remove the top of the printer and scrape off the goo on top of the solenoid body. I put a piece of thin sticky backed felt to replace it. Other people use electrical tape.
