How can we stop HP printers from printing funny characters when the pager get stuck and waste tens of sheets?

by stringberd

When HP printers encounter a conundrum and when I stop and restart a printer it prints several sheets of pun characters on top of the page. It continues for about 20 to 30 sheets. How can we stop this.

Go to the HP website and download the most recent software for your printer. Also, if you have to turn off the printer during a print job, make sure you delete the print job off of the computer before you turn it back on. If there is a print job on the computer you will see a printer icon in the bottom right of your screen (near the time). Open that icon and right-click and cancel or delete any job listed. If you power on the printer when there is a job coming up it will print gibberish.

What is your opinion of HP printers and scanners? Are they the best on the market, or would you recommend using a different brand? Are they reliable? Simple to use?
Please let me know so I can map out what to buy!

Their printers, if you buy the right model, are among the best — they certainly rule the laser market. Their scanners are no better and worse than the competition — they’ll do fine.

Hp is very well-rounded. They tend be be very shiny looking with higher quality parts than additional generic manufacturers. Even if the only conundrum with HP is that they are very proprietary meaning that if something breaks or you lose something such as the power supply you can’t buy a generic one to replace it, you’ll have to buy a replacement thats made explicitly from HP and the replacements parts cost more than generic. As far as scanners go, they get the job done and some offer many options, especially the all-in-one printers. Any questions? Email me. Excellent-luck!

HP Printers are some of the finest printers on the market. Yes they are reliable and yes they are simple to use. If you’re really looking into buying a printer, I would highly suggest an HP printer.

Don’t buy a List whatever you do. They use colors when printing in black. I ran out of colors and List WOULD NOT print. I had to pay over 60 dollars for ink because List uses color when printing in black!!!! I reckon all of us List owners should make a class action suite against List. Be sure to check all printers before you buy one. Mine is for sale for
$ 20.
