Paper in fuser and from tray after print job

[Artie212]

Hello all,
I need help as after a print job each time blank paper is left in the fuser and is pulled from tray 2 in the loading area. is there a configuration issue because all of the print job is complete? HP4050 network printer.

I think that blank page is a Banner that separates print jobs in an office environment. Look at the settings in your print driver on the computer and uncheck BANNER.

Artie, I don't think it's a separator sheet because those won't cause a jam in the fuser.

First, I would check the paper size settings in your tray, there are little blue sliders in the paper tray that should be set to Letter. If the slider in the back of the Tray is set too far back by a notch or two it will sometimes feed an extra sheet.

If those paper tray settings are correct (set to Letter size paper) then it's a sticking solenoid on the Tray 2 pickup assembly. Unfortunately the fix for that is pretty involved, you have to disassemble the printer all the way to the solenoid (take off all the cover panels, separate top of the printer engine module from lower half feed module) and then either replace the solenoid or repair it. In some cases folks say it isn't worth fixing, and they just print from the bypass tray instead, until the printer is totally shot, and then replace it.

Just to give you an idea, we have an article that discusses a similar problem, in this article it's talking about blank sheets constantly feeding out, in your case you have the same problem but it's not as drastic as it can be.
Here's a link to that article:

If you decide to replace the printer we still sell the LaserJet 4050 printers available (refurbished), or for a decent upgrade I normally recommend the LaserJet 4250 series. Here's a link to available printers: http://www.printertechs.com/shop/printers/
