From: Adam on 6 May 2008 00:31 My LaserJet 5 is showing the following error message ... 79 SERVICE(4165) and making a loud noise. Anyone know what the problem might be?

This can be caused by a toner cartridge, or by a few other things like the formatter PC board, third party memory or driver/application incompatibility. The fact that there is a noise indicates the toner may be the most likely. Unfortunately if you buy a new toner and it does not fix it the money for the toner will probably be wasted. Do you know someone with a LJ5, 4 or 4+ who could lend you a cartridge for testing? Tony MS MVP Printing/Imaging

And, as soon as I put the toner cartridge in, the printer made that noise, which is unusual and makes me feel uneasy. But, I was able to print something. And then, I get that service message again. The website that my printer doesn't seem to like is ... http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails.aspx?c=1&pid=2782&at=0 Somehow, that noise has gone away (I think/hope). Also, the printer pulled 2 sheets on 1 print job so I pulled the optional Tray 3 out.

Maybe the printer doesn't like Cod Liver Oil !!!!! I have not seen a problem caused by printing from one particular web site and find it difficult to believe that would be the cause. Tray 3 probably has a worn separation pad. Did the noise go away after you removed tray 3? Tony MS MVP Printing/Imaging

But, Tray 3 was recently used again after the tray spring tension was adjusted. So, that might be related. |
