INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRINTING IN UBUNTU:
- Connect via USB or LPT to one of the testing machines. If you're using LPT, check to make sure there is a switch and it's set correctly.
- If you're using USB, Ubuntu should find your printer and allow you the option to configure it. Do that and print a test page.
- If your USB connection isn't found or you're using LPT go to System > Administration > Printing and either find the appropriate driver in the left menu, or create one. Get help if you hit a snag. Then print a test page.
- Delete the printer profile from the menu when you're done.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR WRAPPING UP AND SENDING OFF:
There are three things we need to do with a Laserjet before we can sell it or give it away:
- Print a nice, clear test page (to package with the printer).
- Print an Ubuntu test page (to package with the printer).
- Make sure it has all of its covers and, if applicable, paper trays.
- Make sure it has some working toner in it.
- Make it somewhat clean.
- Include a power cord with it.
- Have a coordinator check it off.
How we get through this checklist is a little imprecise. Here are some resources.
- We keep some toner, marked by model numbers, in boxes under the testing bench:
- We keep some parts, in specially marked boxes, on the shelves.
- There are numerous online resources for error codes on the internet, including in the Printers sidebar.
Good luck! Here is the link to the old version of this page: HP Laserjet Printer Repair
