HP Laserjet Printer CP2025 Error Message "Misprint"

 My HP Laserjet  Printer CP2025 started miss feeding when printing on both sides with an error message "Misprint". I tried a variety of fixes but in the end, I decided that a new feed roller was required. To purchase replacement pick-up and feed rollers are quite cheap but as an interim measure, I tried a hack that involves reusing the friction belt on the roller. Occasionally the Pickup Roller develops a flat, but this wasn't the case with mine. The video shows a fix for this as well if you need it. Pleased to say the Feed Roller hack worked for me.

You need to view two YouTube Videos one to remove the rollers and the other to show how to reuse the friction belt on the Feed Roller.

HP Printer Offline Problem - Quick Fix

 I have a recurrent irritating issue with my HP Color LaserJet CP2025 printer going Offline. If you Google the question you will get a variety of suggestions most of which take an age to download or implement and then still don't work.

I have found the simplest and quickest way to resolve the problem is to delete and reinstall the printer.

Go to Devices and Printers via Control Panel, right-click on the relevant printer and delete. Left-click File and select Add devices and printers. The computer will search and assuming your printer is switched on and connected will find and install the said printer. When it appears in the Printers, right-click and Set as Default Printer. Job done.
