[QUOTE="RHBlakeman, post: 198025, member: 2337"] Have you tried the latest firmware? Go to hp.com and click download drivers, put P3005 in the box. Pick your machine submodel then look for cross-platform for the BIOS/firmware page. If nothing changes after proper firmware upgrade then you likely have one of the pain in the butt controller chips known to be problematic on the P3005's. There are two different formatters - one with parallel and USB for non-network P3005's and one with USB and ethernet embedded for the network P3005. Liberty Parts Team at lbrty.com has had the best pricing on them for refurbished and they dont require a core return. Give the firmware upgrade a shot and see how it works first. If no change then replace the formatter but be sure to reflash the firmware after the replacement. Also be sure to print a config page before you replace so you have serial, total page counts and maintenance counts to load into the new formatter using the service menu. You will need a service PIN code - google P3005 service PIN and you should get a list on printertechs.com with the HP PIN codes. If you need a manual you can download on feedroller.com - look in the left nav bar near the bottom for the service manual icon. [/QUOTE]
