Replacing the Formatter HP LaserJet P2015 P2015D P2015N P2015DN

The formatter board on the P2015 model printers is becoming notorious for failure. Signs that you need to replace this formatter board can include: repeated loss of network or USB connection, intermittent "freezing" of the entire machine, and a false paper jam error code.  Call us with any questions at 866-352-7108.

Note there are 2 versions of the formatter board:

formatter board Q7805-69003
for network model printers
(LaserJet P2015N, P2015DN),
formatter board Q7804-69003
for non-network model printers
(LaserJet P2015, P2015D).
