View Full Version : Printer problem BlueDogg 06-07-2001, 07:15 PM I've been having trouble with my printer, whenever i try to print something the printer starts making the usual noise it does when its printing but when it's done there is absolutely NO ink on the paper! This is realy pissing me off, please help Thanks Jay tam 06-08-2001, 04:52 AM Sounds like a driver issue to me. Are all the cables hooked up ok? Are there any conflicts showing in your System manager? Are your drivers current and meant for you specific OS? Have you tried uninstalling, rebooting, and installing again? Also, check the vendors website for current bugs and known issues.. Fordman50 06-08-2001, 08:26 AM Some basic info would be nice.

I think you got the point! BlueDogg 06-08-2001, 07:39 PM It's a Compaq IJ300, what else do you need to know? DaOgre 06-08-2001, 08:48 PM this may sound completley redundant but I dont know your level of computer knowledge... try changing the ink cartridges? ------------------ "Who wants some? Huh?

It does exactly what BlueDogg's is doing. ------------------ -Will BlueDogg 06-10-2001, 03:21 PM actualy SmilingJack, i havent changed the ink cartridge since i bought it about 3 months ago, and it was printing fine a few weeks ago.I checked my ink levels and it is still half full. Fordman50 06-11-2001, 08:28 AM I am not an expert in personal printers but have you taken the cartiges out and shook them? Are ALL colors not working? What does the manual say? You may have to look at the manufactorers web site of call them. I spend A LOT of time of the phone with vendors over silly stuff like this at work BTW. If all the colors dont work after shaking, try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers. ------------------ Winner of the "peoples Choice award" for supreme advocate for the people!

You can do this with some Rubbing Alcohol and a couple of Q-tips. |
