We now have an HP PSC 1210 with the following unexplained phenomenon: On certain print jobs out of our ticket program (reports and such) it stops every 2 or 3 pages with the message "paper jam"...Thing is there is no paper jam!  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 05-08-2005 07:20 AM                     I had an HP 697C that I bought in 1999 when I went online with WebTV. It ran perfectly. I let it go when I bought a real computer. The new replacement HP printed 7 pages of a manual and died. HP wanted $100 to replace the logic board... more than it cost NEW! I was given a Canon bubble jet printer that was new in 1995. I was suspicious, since I didn't have an install disc for it. But, when I plugged it up, the computer recognized it! It works just fine, slow, but fine. The 697C is working fine for the woman that got it from me. She prints pages of jokes, and recipes daily. I'm sorry I gave it to her. After the crap experience with the HP service people, I dont think I want to do business with them again. The printer was 2 weeks past the warranty.  |  IP: Logged Pete Naples Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1565 From: Dunfermline, Scotland Registered: Feb 2001 posted 05-08-2005 07:57 AM                     LOL yeah I looked at a 'cheap' Lexmark in Ireland, was 30 Euros, no USB cable with it.... PC WOrld wanted 20 Euroes for a cable! Suddenly it didn't seem so cheap.  |  IP: Logged James Falloon Film Handler Posts: 72 From: Wigram, Christchurch, New Zealand Registered: Oct 2003 posted 05-10-2005 03:28 AM                     Yeah, You'll crap yourself too when you see the price of lexmark ink cartradges.  |  IP: Logged Jason M Miller Master Film Handler Posts: 284 From: Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA Registered: Jul 2004 posted 05-10-2005 07:02 PM                     quote: On certain print jobs out of our ticket program (reports and such) it stops every 2 or 3 pages with the message "paper jam"...Thing is there is no paper jam! Did you try unpluging it waiting a while a plugging it back in(the power) maybe it just needs to reset its self. and on the note of a paper jam message, I had a program in high school that would send a message to any printer with a LCD status panel on it, that was connected to the network (it only worked on Novell Networks)so I would just put "Paper Jam" or "Out of paper" on one and just sit and watch the stupid kids go and try to figure out the problem.  |  IP: Logged
