HP Laserjet 6L PCL

Sounds mechanical, better get a mechanic!

Funny how they accuse *us* of trolling.

This sounds like mechanical problems. The printer may need a new roller assembly, and other mechanical parts. It may not be feasible to service.

Yes, know that problem very well. It also existed in my old HP LaserJet 5L as well as a couple of other HP LaserJets and LaserJet/FAX combos that used this same engine and physical design.

1. There was a class action lawsuit for this problem.
2. HP provided a "quick repair kit" for consumers -- that worked for most people -- but not all the time (It worked in my case).

The web site link provided earlier has the repair information. I do not know if HP service centers are still serving this model -- for this issue (likely they are).

Problem: Printer picks up all of the pages in the paper feed and jams. Alternatively, printer won't pick up any paper.

Cause: Worn out pickup roller and separation pad fail to properly grip paper, causing paper jam. Note: The new pickup roller and pads we provide have been reformulated and should last significantly longer than the ones originally provided by the manufacturer.

Solution: Replace the necessary parts, all of which are included in this repair kit (along with easy to follow directions).

Kit Includes: a.. Pickup Roller b.. Separation Pad c.. 2 Sub Pads d.. Instructional Video (CD-ROM or VHS)

There is a pickup "foot" that pulls paper from the tray. Replace it.
