HP DESKJET 3820 Problem

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Hi,

this is a known problem on 3820 printers - the gearweel in the
servicestation is broken. While this part is defect the force back to
the DC drive misses and the printer can not initialise the right way.
I have about 20 of these printers, all with the same problem ;(. There
are no spare parts available from HP. Sorry to tell you this, but I
think you have to buy a new one.

Bye Joe
