    You are a lifesaver. Printer did only print white pages - the pin to the toner roller was rusty and did not make contact with the printer.

    Hi and thanks for the video. I have a HP Laserjet 3030 (B&W only). Even copy function turns a blank sheet. Only very very faint random lines across the page. Any guidance is much appreciated.

      They are the contscts between cartridge and the printer. They are connected with the main board. It could be a main board problem,

    My problem was that the toner was clumped & not being applied onto the developer roller. I solved it by running a the corner of a clean A4 paper into the slit behind the roller. No need to remove the roller. You should be able to slide the paper into slit/mouth at the back compartment of the roller where the new toner is stored. This problem happened after I refilled & living in a humid place, the toner powder clumped & blocked the slit. My printer was printing very faint half pages. Very similar symptoms with the drum ground contact fault & low toner powder fault IE not enough toner being applied to the paper . Ricoh 311 printer. Hopefully this helps someone. 😀

    I have two Canon MF8180C color printers. Old but one brand new out of box prints only blank pages when copy is selected. Both B&W and Color selections. The old printer had a bad Fuser. Tried the fuser from the new in the old. I can copy B&W but color selection makes blank pages also. I tried new drum and toner as well as all combinations from old printer new printer and generic new toner set. No luck. Canon no longer supports. Any ideas before all goes in the trash?
    Thank you.

    Hello, my printer Brother is laser too. Dcp 2540dw. It prints clearly blank pages. The chronology is in the previous day i tried to change toner repeteadly about 3 times just to compare the quality between original toner with non original one that i bought recently. Because the original one seems start to make bad result. So i inteded to replace with non original which is cheaper. During that experiment was okay.
    But after the next day, in the morning i found it blank pages. 😭. I use that machine for photo copy service in my little shop. I bought november 2019
    Probably you have an idea what it may cause ?

    • @viandant5
      @viandant5  3 роки тому +1

      It could be the drum unit, or a contact between the drum unit and the printer. Check it the toner cartridge is correctly installed. Try to remove and reinstall it.
