==Status==
([[User:Lucas|Lucas]] ([[User talk:Lucas|talk]]) 01-12-2018) It refuses to print anything, even internal prints like status pages and configuration pages. Seems like same problem as this forum post:[https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printers-Archive-Read-Only/Designjet-T520-24-quot-stalled-printing/m-p/5399475/highlight/true#M865598 HP Forum] I cleaned out lots of dust and actual chucks of wood from the printer head path, tho I don't thing that is related to the problem. The print head seems to travel freely when the printer starts up. I looked around online and found others with the same issue but no one with a fix. I called HP and they asked for the SN and they said "Whoa, thats an old printer." For me to even troubleshoot it with them would cost $20 and if it is anything other then user error, like the printer is actually broken, it is not serviceable. They pretty much wanted nothing to do with it. I think a firmware re-flash would be in order, but I cannot find the proper firmware for this revision. This is a revision A and all I could find is a revision B/C. - Lucas Goossen 01-12-2018
(ASJ 1-14-2018) Lazily cleaned encoder strip, updated firmware, did hard-reset. When initializing, there is an ink error. Carriage is working, but further testing required. If made OS, this is replacement part CQ890-67105.
==Notes==
Make sure that the printer is shutdown by pressing the power button by the touch screen, or the head won't move into the park position, and keep the heads clean.
Do not change print cartridges unless the printer prompts you to do so, and you have permission from the area host. For print quality issues see the troubleshooting section below.
This printer will not print without all the cartridges installed and containing some printable ink.

=Troubleshooting=
Some common issues that come up with this printer:
'''1. There are dark bands of ink in the image''' - This is most likely due to a misaligned print head and can be caused when the cartridges are replaced
*'''Solution: Align the print head''' - On the printer touch screen press the wrench icon (upper right) > Printer Maintenance > Align print head. A patterend page will print and the printer will sense deviations in the print pattern and adjust the head.
'''2. There are bands of white or partially colored areas''' - This is most likely due to the printer being left on for an extended period of time or the printer being turned off without being shutdown properly, by pressing the top power button.
*'''Solution: Clean the print head''' - On the printer touch screen press the wrench icon (upper right) > Printer Maintenance > Clean print head. A few gradient bars will print where banding will be visible. There are 3 stages of print head cleaning (the printer will prompt you to go through the stages) printing a page in each stage, that can unclog jets most of the time. If after the 3 stages jets are still clogged, talk to the area host; the print head may need to be serviced or replaced.
'''3. The print job isn't sending / I get errors on the printer touch screen''' - Symptoms vary
*'''Solution: Make sure you've selected the right driver and settings for your application''' - Using the HPGL driver for this printer is highly recommended, see driver installation notes below. Make sure that you're also setting the right paper size, paper type, and print quality. The printer does a bunch of checking automatically and gets pissy when what you're sending from the computer doesn't match what is set in the printer.
