in response to the question "How would you break something that is sticking into tray 2 when changing a toner cartridge? " how is that a helpful response to fixing the situation.  The fact is that the sensor was broken and it happened directly after replacing the toner cartridge.  Whether or not it was the actual replacement of the toner cartridtge or due to some other failure should not prevent shedding light on how to get it fixed. 

 

Does someone at HP have a suggested fix or is the equipment considered cheap and disposable as opposed to repairing?

I will try and give some ideas.If you have all the broken pieces maybe rebuilding the sensor can solve the problem.I had to do this a few times and found it to be the easiest way of getting the printer to work again.Even with the part no; sometimes it is not possible to get the part from the suppliers.Rebuilt the flag and try to solve the problem.

Hello,

 

Did you find the instruction on how to remove and replace the tray 2 sensor. I really would appreciate it.

 

With Thanks.

HP Recommended

Yes. message David Zuts.  He will email them to you.  I deleted the email b/c you have to take the printer apart to switch the sensor.  I ended up buying a new printer.

Have the same issue, looking for proper procedure to remove and replace.  I found a repair manual but does not include this procedure.  I'd like to as if someone would be nice enough to please send me the manual being mentioned that is not readily available to public?
