HP2840 crashed which prints blank pages without error message? HP Color LaserJet Printer Troubleshooting

Not sure that vacuuming is a good idea: toner is a very fine powder and conductor of electricity; this can cause short juices in the engine ...

That's what I was thinking, I smoked a motherboard like this as a teenager!

If I do it is 4 toners and drum printing disassembled!

As a teenager, I didn't smoke motherboards ...

Well I can tell you that it hurt my C ... L then you have to admit that I was still a virgin ...

I just printed 40 pages in B&W: the printer works relentlessly well!

Guy!

Well listen, so much the better, it could also not have worked, in fact we had the luck: The "failure" was referenced and the tutorials existed.

Well, I didn't search other than in French, yet I used to do research in English on technical issues but for this problem I didn't think about it as I thought the solution would be easily accessible ! Well, I was wrong, you don't have to think too much in this world I think!

After this topic will certainly help other French speakers who have the same problem! So that's a good thing!

I hope it is gone for 10 years ... and 60 pages at least!

I have a Lexmark Ms312dn. Toner costs almost more than the printer if you take a brand!

[Christophe]

Mine backup is also a Lexmark, model MC3224dwe ... (200 € at Leclerc at the start of 2020. The 1st did not work at all, I had to make a standard exchange ... surprising on the part of a reputed professional brand like Lexmark ...)

Apparently there is no printing drum to replace on this model (technological evolution?) ... and the pack of 4 toners costs at "lexmark amazon" between 200 and 300 € so economically, it is better to buy a complete printer and resell empty ... As was the case with inkjet at the time but a little less worse because they were sold for less than 50 € and the cartridge pack 150 € ...

Not looked at the price of adaptables but I found this:

To see ...

I'll keep her for help!

For what we do with it, black and white (and gray, therefore) is fine.
