is something that may help This unit uses the same image unit as the clp315 or clp310 Both of these are printers only but here in the us sell for about 120140 new They come with toner cartridges starter 750 page for the color but if you can get one in the UK for the same price as in the US that is the way I would go The image unit is based on prints made and since you have refilled your toners not sure how many copies you have made but maybe time for new image unit and buying the printer maybe the way to go http:cgiebaycouk dmzcomputePrinter

76297 pages The noise cant be heard at all if you only print one page usually starts around the 2nd or 3rd page but does last until the last page is out Thanks so much for your feedback so far What should I do Would HP be willing to fix it for a fee if I contacted them Is the printer requiring any part that can be replacedfixed I really like this particular printer because it gets nearly 10000 pages on a catridge and newer printers that my company bought only get around 2000 so Id really like to keep this one working if I possibly canAnonymousPrinter Forum2010-03-19T18:35:00+00:00
