HP printer p2015 doesn't function - get's stuck during boot with the jam LED on. This status is not listed in the manual. It indicates the formatter board (Q7804-60001) has failed. The formatter board is on the left-hand side - remove the side panel by using a flat screw driver to unclip the panel at the rear of printer. To confirm that the fault is the formatter board there is a button hidden in the frame below the formatter board - pressing this button causes the printer to print a series of straight lines without using the formatter board.
A common method for repairing the formatter board is to bake in the oven to repair dry solder joins:
1) Pre-heat oven to 176degC
2) Place formatter board on some aluminium foil for support, then place onto baking tray with components facing up.
3) Bake for 8 minutes, then remove and allow to cool.
4) Re-connect the formatter board and test printer again.

Disable DHCP on VMware Server 2.0.2 HostOnly networks
Various solutions exist on the Internet for solving this issue, but they have some issues:
1) Edit the /etc/vmware/vmnet1/dhcpd.conf file
- unreliable because it gets over-written if vmware-config.pl is executed.
2) Edit the /etc/vmware/locations file
- unreliable because it prevents vmware-mgmt starting services.
3) My solution: Edit the file /usr/lib/vmware/net-services.sh
Find the line:
if [ "$dhcp" = 'yes' ] && vmware_find_comma "$services" 'dhcp'; then
Change to:
echo "**DHCP service disabled in /usr/lib/vmware/net-services.sh**"
if [ "$dhcp" = 'yesX' ] && vmware_find_comma "$services" 'dhcp'; then
This causes vmnet-dhcpd to never be started.
