I found that one of the papers i was trying to print was set for double sided printing, well i don't have the duplex part of it. So I kept getting the error. You have to cancel all the print jobs thru the buttons on the printer. Doing it in your computer did not help and turning off the printer did not help me. So after I cancelled all docs from printing and turned off double sided printing it was fixed.

Testimonial: "I found that - as you said, one job was looking to print double-sided. It had defaulted to print double-sided - for whatever twisted reason, I un-doubled-sided it and its been fine... TY!! :-)"

Jam in duplex area

Its is trick..If its more then two pages print, printer grabs second page even first page in duplex unit., here its confusion. Check with simplex single print, see any paper mismatch error? or printer throwing paper in output bin after successful print?. No.. check fuser out sensor or paper out roller.
Print only two pages matter in duplex, check where paper struck? if paper our roller not grabbing paper back properly in time (slipping while grabbing back) gets jam error.
Always ensure that select proper paper size in printer.Other than this it may major issue, need technical knowledge..& possibilities are less to judge the exact problem..
Keep update us to resolve the issue.

Iam getting the duplex paper jam error 371 each time i try to print . how do imake the error go. i dont use the duplex at all.

See page 75 of the attached user manual on how to remove a duplex paper jam. If you can't find a paper jam in the duplexer, simply remove the duplex assembly (power off the printer, then power on) and see if that resolves your issue.

(The printer will operate just fine without the duplex assy. installed)

Says "error" and don't know

If the error light is flashing: Check the front door and the fuser door to be sure that they are closed. Also check for any jam including the duplex section. Make sure there is not a sensor flag stuck in the down position. This can indicate memory full, print overrun, size error DX or duplex disabled.

If the error light is not flashing: it can mean there is no paper in tray 1 or the machine may be asking for you to put paper in the multi purpose tray.

Is this the only light that is on?

I have a HP Color Laserjet 3600DN. The initial problem was no duplex printing. It wasn't pulling the paper back down. I replaced the duplex transfer belt. No luck. I then replaced the duplex reverse...

I've worked on these printers for years and I never heard of a "duplex transfer belt".
Sounds like you broke a wire or missed plugging in a connector.
Probably a bad Duplex Feed Drive assembly or bad DC Controller.

Why printer 4515 this error MANUALLY FEED OUTPUT STACK for duplex pritnting

HP P4515n is not a duplex printer by default. It is a network printer. ('n' suggests it is a network printer. Duplex printers have 'd' in the model number).
If you want to print both sides, manually feed sheet by sheet. Or else you can do the following:
If you are using, say MS Word, print only the odd pages (Print the normal way. No need to manually feed paper). Then arrange the printed papers in the proper order and keep the printed side as back side. Insert the set of papers in the printer and print only the even pages.
First print a document of about 6 pages to get the hang of it.

Lanier ld145 duplex error

The duplex is on the right hand side of the copier (external unit from the main print engine). You firstly need to check for a jam inside the unit, open the unit away from the copier and there will be a blue tab to access further beyond the black plates. Also make sure the unit is seated correctly and plugged in (Turn off unplug and plug back in, this will also reboot the machine). This is customer recoverable error so the reboot should fix it
