Worked Again. Thanks Very Much for Your Detailed Instruction. It was back in April of 2010 that I cleaned the mirrors the last time and just completed cleaning them again May 2012. About 4 1/2 Hours the first time and about 2 1/2 Hours this time. I have printed a lots of books on my restoration of my 1970 VW that I bought new. Thanks goodness the printing was great for the books but soon afterwards you could tell the printer needed cleaning again. These detail instruction made me want to make detailed instruction of my VW restoration which can be found at http://home.comcast.net/~clublava/1970VW% Long live the Printer, Also may my Grandchildrens take good care of the VW.

Our whirlpool ikea door shattered yesterday! Just thankful it happened when the kids were not around as it is at their head level!
When are whirlpool going to take responsibility?
Not rung them yet but don’t have much hope after reading everyone elses reviews as ours was in the house we just bought and not sure exactly when it was fitted .
Anyone written to watchdog yet?

Thank you so very much.
It worked and was quite easy to do, following your step-by-step instructions.
You really saved me buying a new printer.

Thanks. Just thanks.

Thanks a bunch for posting this! Excellent instructions, excellent pics, lots of information.

I picked up a used HP2605dn last week on Craigslist. It had been dropped once, and the printer tray had broken. After getting a new tray on eBay, I did a test page and got a cyan monkey and black blurbs.

I got to your site eventually, after doing all the normal updates (firmware, NVRAM, color calibration, etc.). After an afternoon of disassembly, I opened the optical box and saw that two of the plastic reflectors were just loose in the box (must have gotten jarred loose when the printer was dropped). I cleaned the mirrors, crazy-glued the reflectors back on and reassembled.

I got good color, but bad alignment, so after more calibrations and whatnot, I disassembled again and repositioned the reflectors just slightly. This time I got better alignment, but no magenta at all for some reason. A third teardown and reassembly fixed that (not sure why), and a couple test pages and color calibrations later, it’s good to go. For good measure cut a patch out of a coffee filter and taped it over that open slot on the bottom, like you said.

There’s $10.00 in beer money coming your way, and I’m ordering a stick of memory off eBay. After it’s all said and done, I’ll have paid about $110.00 for a color laser printer. If this thing lasts long enough to print the Christmas letter this year, it will have been worth it. Thanks again!
