The kit you speak of is next to useless. I tried it twice and it didn't help.
This is a problem with LaserJet 5L, 6L and 1100 series, and it involves the a couple of internal components in the sheet feed mechanism. It required a repair by an HP depot that cost about $90, after which the printer functioned perfectly. The tech that serviced it stated that he's done hundreds of these mods in the last 3 years or so and gets a few in every week still. Other than that, these are amazing printers that just go and go...probably the last thing of quality that HP will ever build at this rate... There was also a class-action lawsuit that if you had a defective printer for which you paid for a repair, you could receive a settlement of something like $70 or so from HP. >Date: Fri, 09 May 2003 09:23:38 -0500 >From: Ron Stordahl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "George Harlem, W1EBI" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Cc: 'dxbase' <[email protected]> >Subject: Re: [DXBase] Laser printer nuisance > >Yes I had that problem, and if you go to www.hp.com and look around hard >enough you will see that they offer for free a repair kit which was >quite easy to install.
