Product: HP LaserJet 4050
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My HP Laserjet 4050 recently has stated to print extra device usage pages when I try to print labels and ruins the label .   It also does it for other documents.   

 

How do I fix or turn off the extra junk pages from printing.

It's caused by so called sticky solenoid.

Step:

Trying to find out wher the solenoid(s) is(are).  -> Finding helps from YouTube.

Taking apart the covers needed to to get to the solenoid(s).  -> Finding helps from YouTube.

When you can see it, don't try to get it out of where it is, just put a piece of paper into between solenoid's L-arm and problem solved.
