LaserJet 3052
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My printer LaserJet 3052 keeps pulling extra page after document has printed. I reinstalled firmware and driver. It did not help. Any suggestions to get it fixed?

This is a common issue on old HP laserjet printers and it is usually caused by tray-2 solenoid that becomes sticky and thus it is not operating correctly. The solution is to remove the sponge bit completely from the solenoid and in its place put a thin cardboard wrapped in 2-3 layers of insulated tape OR just replace the solenoid with a new or working one.

 

I hope this helps

Thank you for your advice. The problem really happened because of sticky solenoid. To get complete understanding of solenoid location I used YouTube.  It was easy job and my printer works properly now.
