Getting blank print outs with one base line printed of symboles and letters mixed in Hp laserjet P3005.

clean the drum of the toner with tissue paper and reinstall hopefully it will resolve the issue

# Switch off the printer, cancel pending jobs..Refix parallel cable both ends & tighten them Check proper drivers installed or not if not install proper drivers.. shoot print command. check..if not resolved...For tech guys:# Replace cable..checkRemove printer formatter, check any dry solder or pin breakage at parallel port.(show in snap shot), found... try to repair it or replace the formatter assm. Check system parallel port working or not...

This is a settings problem, you will need to go through the paper handling menu on the printer and on your computer to ensure they are set to the correct paper size that you are trying to print on.

This is almost always going to be the toner cartridge. Swap it out if you have a spare. If not even if you have an empty one, just shake it a bit and put it back in to see if the blank lines go away. It is at least 90% chance or better that the problem is in the cartridge.
Good Luck and Thank You for using Fixya.

go to HP Support & Drivers 1

Print out the configurationpages and there you'll find the MAC adres.Use the arrow down button to scroll to the informationmenu, scroll down to "print configuration" and press the green button.

Check the fuser. If it is the fuser, you should be seeing 3 dark lines on the fuser film. Here is the picture about how the film looks like:


Changing the film usually solve the problem. However changing the film itself is difficult. You have to remove and basically disasseble the fuser, and change the film. However it is fairly cheap and if you decide you would like to save some money, here is the link available in ebay:

Or, simply search for 'P3005 Fuser Film' and you will find a lot.

Other than that, you can change the entire fuser. Please note that fuser for P3005 is not consumer installable part. You still have to take out some parts in order to change the fuser.

The parts are available from many parts supplier. Simply google 'P3005 fuser'. Usually around $100 for a refurbished fuser.

You can also recycle your old fuser and get some moeny! (about $15-$25 per fuser).

Good luck!

if you haven't any error message then you may have a problem in laser shutter, check and reseat your catrtidge, or you have a problem in your DC Controller

Print 3 pages. Use the manual feed tray. As they print, open the cover, remove the toner and look down at the paper in the printer. Do you see marks along the edge? If no...replace the fuser. If yes...it could be the transfer roller.
