Overview - Most common printer problems

There can be various causes for a printer not working. Before contacting HP printer repair or looking for a local service provider, the connection between the printer and the computer should be checked. In many cases, a printer problem is caused by a loose or removed cable - or by an unstable WLAN connection. A cloged up printer head, toner particles in the printer or a system error can also make a printer stop working. If the print head is misaligned or dirty, cleaning and readjustment will correct the problem. In very few cases a serious defect has occured that requires repair. Sometimes even restarting the printer helps to restore its functionality.

Options to get a Printer repaired?

When repair of an HP printer is inevitable, most customers ask themselfs a few questions. Can I repair the device myself? Should I use the manufacturer's guarantee or rather go to a repair shop which might offer a cheper service? First of all: It is not advisable to carry out a repair on your own. Sensitive printer technology requires experience and know-how. Trying to repair a HP printer without the appropriate technical knowledge might lead to a worsening of the problem. If the printer is still under manufacturer guarantee, it can be exchanged or taken back to the shop and sent to an authorized HP repair shop. If the guarantee has expired, the owner of the printer has free choice of a repair shop and can have the repair carried out by third parties.

Advantages and Disadvantages of different Repair Options

Rrepairs during the warranty period don't cause many disadvantages for HP customers. Only the temporary absence of the printer can require a little organizational talent. No costs will occure for a HP printer repair under manufacturer's warranty.

If a manufacturer independent repair shop is commissioned, the customer has to pay for the repair. To obtain an estimate of costs prepared after the diagnosis of the printer error is advisable. In comparison to a HP repair shop, costs for a printer repair with a manufacturer independent repair shop are lower.

An in-house or self repair only has disadvantages. Even if there are no costs involved in trying to repair the printer, the work done can end up being expensive. If measures other than cleaning, a connection check or a restart of thr printer are required, a printer specialist should always be consulted and commissioned with the repair.

When is a repair worthwhile and when to buy a new printer?

As long as the manufacturer's warranty still applies to your HP printer, a HP printer repair should always be your first choice. When the warranty duration has ended, you do not necessarily have to buy a new HP printer. Costs for a repair might be low. If the costs exceed the price for a new purchase or if the printer is very old and the repair is not really economical, it is advisable to weigh up the options between a new purchase and a repair. Defects which make the replacement of technical components necessary are not related to benefits of a HP printer repair. If the print speed or print quality deteriorate and cleaning the print head doesn't help, purchasing a new HP printer can be the cheaper alternative to a HP printer repair.

Benefits of Maintenance Contracts for Businesses

HP offers an inexpensive alternative to a basic repair for business customers. Customers which purchase a HP printer with a maintenance contract are protected against malfunctions due to ware and tear. The printer will be checked and cleaned at regular intervals. Smallest defects are recognized early and fixed as part of the maintenance contract. Should a major HP printer repair become necessary, the customer will receive a replacement device for the repair period. Another benefit of a maintenance contract is that service is carried out on the premises of the customer. Obtain a maintenance contract.

A maintenance contract is only suitable to a limited extent for private customers. Companies benefit from this offer and save high costs by having equipment serviced at intervals recommended by the manufacturer.
