Question about HP Photosmart 2410 All-In-One InkJet Printer

HP 2410 all-in-one printer

Carriage seems to malfunction at times. It either doesn't go the the end of the track each time or is sluggish. The print tends to walk toward the margin and even past the margin on the second or third page and causes the paper jam light to come on. In the worst cases I hear a clunking noise. I have had some success in oiling the track, but it only lasts for a few weeks until it happens again. Any suggestions?

This is a common problem. You did the correct procedure. Lubricating the rail is what I would do. What you need to do is find the best type of oil to use. Some may actually make it worse. Start by cleaning the rail with alcohol. Saturate your rag and move the rail back and forth to make sure you get all of the old lubrication out of the rail bushings. Really do a good job at this because the old stuff is actually creating the problem. Next is lubricating the rail. I use 3 in 1 sewing machine oil. It is a very thin oil that will last longer for you. Never use teflon or wd-40 this will build up and make it worse. Give it a try. I also have seen the rail where it is worn because of lack of lubrication and it was not worth fixing but that is the extreme case. Thank you for your question, Bill

Hp desk jet 3512 making banging noise on start up and say cartridge jam

Probably a CARRIAGE jam, not likely a cartridge jam. Paper dust and stray ink can cause the end of carriage sensor(s) to malfunction. This will cause the carriage to crash into the stops. Sometimes cleaning the sensors can solve this. Other times the crash damages the carriage drive gears and basically requires the printer to be replaced. Repair is not really an option as these things are so inexpensive they are manufactured as throw-away items.

Why is my hp psc 2410 photosmart all-in-one make a clicking noise, when I turn it on? It seems to be stuck in a "cycle". Like the printing carriage (if that's what you call it) is hooked-up.

See if you can press the power button to turn it off, leave it for 5 minutes then turn it on again, if the clicking persists again try 1 more time, turn off, leave for 5 mins then turn back on this time there should be no clicking noise and you should be able to send a print job to the queue and it should print.
If this doesnt work then goto the hp software and purge.

F4280 doesn't print; cartridgers stuck on right

Turn the power off. Open the door. There should be a thin clear plastic strip with black tick marks on it that runs across in front of the metal bar that the print carriage rides on. Make sure that it is still there and hasn't been pulled off it's moorings on either end. This is how the printer keeps track of where the carriage is at any given time.

Hood a finger over the edge of the print carriage and gently pull it out of its home position. You may need to slightly lift the front edge of the carriage and move it near the center of its range of motion.

Close the door and turn on the printer.
