Whee! Printing progress

[unixronin]

Progress has been made on the recalcitrant HP DeskJet 2500CM, by the expedient of opening up the controller module and removing all the DIMMs, RAM and personality alike, then re-inserting and reseating them one by one.  The power switch is still flaky, and it's still refusing to feed paper from any place except Tray 3, but at least now it seems to be printing stably and consistently without crashing.  Cleaning all the feed rollers may help the paper feed issue, if I can find out the procedure.  I'm guessing the power switch probably needs replacement.

I've located a complete set of service manuals on CD for the printer, which I should have shortly.  This should help with diagnosing the remaining issues.  If I'm lucky, cleaning will solve the rest; if not, I may have to replace some paper sensors.
