HP DESKJET 3820 Problem

[Guest]

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

I've tried all trouble shooting suggestions to no
avail. This is the problem: No printing. Ink carriage moves all the way to
the left. Paper feeds all the way through,(no printing occurs)very slowly.
Carriage then moves to right. It stops all the way to the right and then the
bottom two lights begin to blink. Also, when I open the cover of printer
nothing happens.

Please advise.
Thanks.

Hi,

this is a known problem on 3820 printers - the gearweel in the
servicestation is broken. While this part is defect the force back to
the DC drive misses and the printer can not initialise the right way.
I have about 20 of these printers, all with the same problem ;(. There
are no spare parts available from HP. Sorry to tell you this, but I
think you have to buy a new one.

Bye Joe
