Your HP P4014 P4015 P4515 fuser has been built to the highest quality standards.
If you are experiencing problems with this fuser (jams, noises, poor print quality,
etc.), please observe the following:
If the fusers sleeve does not spin when you manually turn the gear, please do not
assume that the fuser will not run in the printer. At room temperature, the grease
applied inside the sleeve thickens and may actually prevent the sleeve from
spinning. When the fuser is installed and run in the printer, the grease will heat up
and attain proper viscosity.

If your printer’s motors and fans run continually without printing any pages, and
with “PROCESSING JOB” displayed on the control panel, along with a possible
“41.08 ERROR”, the printer’s firmware may need to be upgraded. Firmware
versions lower than 04.060.7 will exhibit this problem and can be resolved by
visiting http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html and downloading and
installing the current firmware revision. See Instructions on opposite side.

either of these cases, remove the fuser and reinstall it making sure that both sides
