Is it ok for a laser printer to be seldomly used? The inkjet I use now gets clogged due to seldom use.?

if you can afford the purchase price of a laser machine, i highly recommend it.  i agree with the other answerers, with inkjets you have toprint at least once a day, or once every other day.  with lasers, nah, it's a powder.  however if you have a high moisture content in your air, you might want to take this into consideration.  i'm not sure, but i would think that the excess moisture could cause the powder to get all 'clumpy'.  but if that is not the case i would get the laser.\n\ngood luck

It's all going to depend on what features you're looking for - number of trays, price, transparencies, color vs. black-and-white.  My office does about 500 pages a day per printer.  I've had the same HP Laserjet 5 for close to 12 years.  In that 12 years, it's only needed to be cleaned.  I have several more HPs in my office (HP4050, 2030) and find them to be very reliable.

Wow, a lot of folks are referring to inkjet cartridges in these responses.  What you have (as you likely know) is a high volume toner cartridge with an integrated drum.  You cannot refill the toner cartridge, but you can purchase them in one of two states, refilled or remanufactured.  Refilled toner cartridges contain used drums which is a concern.  Either way, reliability drops right along with print quality to some degree.  If you go this route, be sure that the company that provides you with the "used" cartridges has a policy to service your printer when and if they fail, because when they do, they tend to make a mess.

make sure you run a "detect hardware" scan on your computer to check that yourcomputer knows that a printer is connected. second, it might be printing the page blnak because the ink cartidge is dry or jammed?

Clean the print heads as suggested above.\n(But if they're really clogged bad, you might have to do this up to 10 times in a row though?).

yes. There is larger initial cost for a laser printer, but it's life span is far greater than that of most ink jet printers. I've learned this the hard way.  I've had numerous ink jet printers that all died on me for one reason or another.  But my HP laser jet has been running strong for the last 5 years!   Laser jets are well worth the more and will save u money in the long run.  I haven't replaced the toner for the printer yet and I've easily printed off thousands of pages.

You won't be able to fix it. Obviously try to clean it up with a towel. DO not under any circumstances use water. If it serious enough that the printer stops working report it to Hewlett Packard and they will send you a new printer if their inkjet was faulty. You must first report the faultiness of the inkjet.

An inkjet printer uses ink cartridges and does not require special paper.  A laser printer uses a combination of heat and toner to produce high quality prints.  A laser printer requires the use of laser printer paper which is slightly more expensive than regular paper but not by much (last time I checked anyway).\n\nEventually you will have to replace the toner in a laser printer and it will cost you between $80 and $100 for a replacement toner but you don't have to do it very often.\n\nA cheap laser printer can be as little as $100 but will not print colors, only black and white.  There are color laser printers but they are very expensive.\n\nSee source links for more information about laser and inkjet printers.

heh, that is kind of funny.  You have a tracking problem.  it will require service to fix it.  If it still prints put up with it until it is time to replace the cartridges, then replace the printer.   For the Price of a new set of Dell cartridges you can get a nice little HP printer.

I think that is an ink jet, so it may just need new cartridges, or replacing the ink in the old ones. If the printer has been sitting a long time, you may be able to use the extreme clean section of the head cleaning program. Another possibility is that the FORM FEED button is being held down. Of course, it could need a new control board, which would have the same effect. If you have the original disk, there should be a diagnostic program on it, or you can download it from the HP website, and that may be able to help you resolve this issue.

Tom's Hardware has a nice review of inkjet multi-function printers.  I've found the reviews on that site to be based on facts and pretty reliable.\n\nI hope it helps!

Hi,\n\nI found a firmware for your printer at HP.com\nIt says that it fixes ""Memory Full" - When loading more than one document in the automatic document feeder (ADF) to make copies, the all-in-one may display "Memory Full; Press Enter"\n\nAnd it fixes lots of other issues with this printer.

Go with the HP.\n\nAs for the follow up most printers use alcohol based inks so smearing or even disappearing shouldn't be a problem.  \n\nAlthough it may be an idea to see if the store will provide you with a test page from the printer.  That way you will know for sure.

When I used one I did this a few times. It not hard, but, can be messy. I have heard of clogging, I never had that problem. Now with Scanners and all, I have not used an Ink Jet in 8 years. I have an old Dot Matrix I use for letters and research papers, got it about 12 years ago and it still using the original ribbon. I did buy 2 extra ribbons as I assume one day will not be able to get them. But, for black/white, it very cheap to operate.

I had one of those printers and it stopped printing all together and I had to punch some "extra holes" in the print cartridge and place a warm washcloth over it; it only worked for a few prints though.  Good luck.  I think it's some sort of scam, b/c when I researched it, hundreds of people were having the same problem.  I ended up just buying a new printer.   Good luck.
