The HP LaserJet 1100 printer is great because of its small footprint, cartridges cheap and relatively easy to install process on Windows machines. These characteristics have led many consumers to wonder why an upgrade to a different printer is necessary. If you can correct some minor flaws with the printer, the HP 1100 is expected to last very long.
As a technician, I met two main concerns of the 1100 series. First, foreign port on the back is called mini-Centronics and many people do not know where to find the connector its own. Next, this paper printer is powered by gravity so it moves in a downward motion for printing. This type of power paper caused a problem with the separation pad and many HP 1100 has developed an issue where more than one piece of paper would feed through the printer at once. This article helps answer two main questions and provide some possible solutions for your HP printer 1100 may continue to be the Workhorse it.
First, HP has introduced mini-Centronics connector on many printers, including the Color LaserJet 4600, LaserJet 3200 All-in-one, and the LaserJet 1100 series. This port was undoubtedly a way for HP to sell more of its cables and the perception of a premium for this product since no other manufacturer has used this port at the time.
Since HP has stopped supporting these printers, many people wonder where they can find an adapter. The best thing to do is search online for a "mini-Centronics adapter Centronics "and you will find there are still many online retailers who offer this product. You can also get a USB to parallel and join a Centronics to Mini Centronics adapter to it. This essentially provides a connection to these new computers that have only one USB port available.
Then, the pages of this formidable power issue causing multiple jams persistent. Some time ago, HP has lost a class action trial about this problem and has released a patch "which was to install a new foundation on the existing basis. This just caused more problems on the road as it put pressure on the undo feedroller requiring a visit to the workshop technology.
For a more permanent fix, the 1100 requires HP have a full "separation pad kit" installed. Not for the faint of heart, because it involves removing several blankets and have access the right components for an appropriate replacement. This process takes time and a trained professional usually needs about 15-20 minutes to install the platform separation, the directors pads and a new feed roller.
After this process is, however, the HP 1100 will last much longer and require less maintenance to replace the pads is very encouraged by good technicians (instead of an upsell to a new model).
