HP 2600n - pages coated with blue toner. Inside

My Hp Laserjet 2600n is printing normally but the colors are not printing clearly even if I put new cartridges. Only the black color is clear the others (Yellow, Magenta and Cyan) are not clear at all, it...

Hi,
I received a similar HP Laserjet Color Printer with same issue for repair/ maintenance a few months back. This is a common issue with HP 1600 and 2600 Printers.
Actually, the problem is with the printer design not the cartridges and it needs professional hands for servicing and cleaning. The mirrors which reflect laser beam get covered with dust and toner. Hence, the image is not produced properly/ sharp. (It is because of the reason that the image forming laser beam does not fully reflected by the mirrors as they are covered with dust/ toner) Note that first magenta goes off, followed by yellow, then cyan and lastly black. This is because of the mirrors placement inside the printer.

Rest assure that the printer requires ONLY CLEANING OF THE MIRRORS, which are inside the printer.

Clean them yourself with dry n soft cloth (if you are familiar with such tasks, if not you may seek professional assistance) or get it cleaned by any printer repair/ service professional. The printer has to be disassembled partially by removing the outer covers and the Laser Scanner Unit to clean the optics. Please note that the mirrors, lenses and scanner assembly inside such printers is extremely complex and can get damaged very easily especially the mirrors. So, it is recommended that if you are not comfortable and experienced enough with working inside/ disassembling such devices, get the printer serviced by authorized professional results.

Let me know if any further clarification/ assistance is required.

Hope it helps! Good Luck! Thanks for using Fixya!

When i print toner status black color is faded as well as yellow and cyan, magenta showing white color, can you please give the best solution for this. by the way i am using hp 2600n. thank you very much.

First, make sure that the toner cartridges have enough toner. The toners may be exhausted. In case the toners are ok, the printer requires servicing/ cleaning of lenses and mirrors inside the printer.
Please refer here to my earlier solution to this problem, which was very helpful for the users of Color LaserJet 2600n Printer.

GoodLuck!
Dont forget to appreciate the solutions if I could have been of any help!

Hi Everytning I print has a very narrow pink line straight down the centre of the page, also every so often the print has a black/yellow/blue/pink thick line running across the page. Thanks

The narrow pink line is coming from your magenta toner/drum cartridge. You may be able to open the from cover and look at the 4 toners. If you look at the magenta (like pink) cartridge, you might see the thin line on the drum surface.
The multicolored band that sometimes shows up on your prints is most likely the transfer belt unit. This is caused by an area of the belt that is not being cleaned very well. This probably tends to show up when you are running mutilple prints of a page.
So it looks like to may need to replace your magenta toner and look at getting a transfer belt unit.

Hp 2600n error 51.22 magenta cartridge, says turn on and off, hel

51.22 is a Magenta laser scanner error.
Try removing the magenta restarting the printer and reinstalling.
If that does not work you likely need a laser assm.
You might want to call a tech. to replace.

The red is not printing

At a guess you are using recycled toners? If the recycler has not worked out the refilling procedure properly, the problem you experienced with the exploding Cyan toner is common. It is possible in the act of blowing out the loose cyan toner your have used to much air pressure, possibly blowing toner into the laser beam units, or damaging the toner sensor unit for magenta.
A diagnostic inspection, by a technician would be suggested.

Every page covered in magenta and black won't print across the page

This is caused by toner contamination in the laser scanner unit, it is quite a complex job removing and cleaning the laser scanner. I would suggest you contact HP regarding the repair.

Just changed both magenta and yellow toner cartridge on my color lazer. When I print the page comes out covered in blue, magenta and yellow streaks. i have re-installed everything and cleaned everything...

is that a new toner? or a refilled one?

its hard for you to ressolved the issue because you need to open all the cover in order to clean all the necessary mess.

try to send your printer to a repair center.

Can be one off to issues.
1. If the toners are original HP?
The waste bin can get choked with toner, usually on the left hand side, the excess waste will then be forced out past the sealing blades, forming sprinkles on both the paper, and the black transfer belt. Usually shows when toner getting towards empty.
2. If the toners are recycled this will happen if the cartidge is not stripped and all the waste toner is not removed from waste bin, the waste bin will quickly overflow onto your page, and belt as before.
B. As these cartidges rarely are empty when the Printer tells you it is, the drill and fill merchants usually add a full charge of toner through a hole they drill in the toner hopper, creating toner overload. The excess toner is pushed out during the early printing process, quickly overfills a waste bin that hasn't been emptied, creating the problem youv'e got.
Proffessional recyclers supply supply quality toners, which we suspect you need to find.

Service engineers have a specialised vacume cleaner to remove toner, it is very fine and the filters in a standard vacum are not considered fine enough, the toner will just blow through into your work enviorment

So if you have a service contract with HP you could give them a call, it is one issue they are obliged to send out an engineer for.

I dont recommend using a damp cloth as your dealing with an electrical device but for external spills of toner you can use a damp cloth but ensure you only use cold water as hot water will melt the toner

Sorry I cant be of more help
