Hp printer, hundreds of pages of symbols

If you get a bunch of meaningless symbols on the page the usual causes are a corrupt or wrong print driver, a bad communication cable or a failed formatter or possibly a print job stuck in a queue on the computer that you connected the printer to (pending jobs often corrupt when you reconnect your printer). Unplug the parallel or network cable from the printer and restart and then try to print the configuration page. If it prints then plug in the communication cable and try printing again. Still bad after that reinstall the printer driver. If a fresh driver does not work, try a different cable.

Press and hold the green button for few seconds

Check pick Tray 2 up rollers surface, if its soft replace them.. try..

No there isn't that's the biggest problem with Win 7. DRIVERS.. if they aren't expressly written for Win 7. Then it is all just one big headache. In saying that sometimes installing as Admin, & in XP SP2 Compatibility Mode, helps.

This could be a driver issue. Without knowing exactly how your printer is connected to the network I'm making a rough guess here.

There is a Universal HP Printer driver that could be tried as well as the PCL5, PCL6 and Post Script drivers.

I've had issues with the PCL6 drivers before doing this and I usually install the PCL5 drivers instead.

The p2015d has only 32Mb memory .... which is not enough to buffer heavy jobs.
But this printer has the facility to upgrade the memory to 256Mb, which will solve your problem (remove the panel on LH side to see the memory expansion slot).

You need DDR2 SDRAM 144 pin DIMM. A 256Mb from HP is about £400 but Google search for 'printer memory' .... they are £39 inc del.

try this
1.when the printer start print turn off the printer after the paper go on side the printer to make paper jam
2.open the printer and pickup the paper out slowly
3.see the print area on the paper if the black par appears on the paper that mean the drum unit faulty if not the fusser unit faulty

your toner drum coating eject
change toner drum

Try connecting the printer via the USB port on either one of the computers. Then test if the machine prints fine then likely possibility is that the Network interface card is faulty remove the network card and install in a different slot and test. If the same thing happens then reinstall the drivers and test.

Hope this helps
Thanks J
