bulltrout Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 u print a test page yet?...if you have and it's not working, take the cartridge out again, clean of the metal connections gently, reinstall and try again...if nothing still, run the troubleshooter software that came with your printer (usually in the printer help)...last effort, track down someone else's printer to print off what you have to until you figure it out...don't know if that helps at all...

cheeler Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 If you still have the packaging, check for an expiry date, or try setting the date back on your computer - HP has been using this technology to "ensure the quality of your printing" (i.e. make you buy another cartridge filled with crap that's more expensive per ounce than gold).

birchy Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I hate inkjets.. Forgive me for asking the extremely obvious stupid question... but did you peel off the little plastic covering before you installed it? Not trying to insult your intelligence but you have to understand the people I deal with at work on a daily basis!! Just yesterday alone.. we had "my extended desktop isn't working.. my laptop screen is blue but my monitor screen is all black and I can't see the Windows login!!" My coworker walks over and presses the power button on her monitor.. voila! and.. "we have an URGENT issue on the 25th floor.. we're having a meeting.. everyone's there, and jane doe can't get the projector to display the image!!' Coworker walks up and looks at the video cable. These projectors have cables with one end DVI and the other end VGA. DVI to the projector and VGA to the laptop. So what did this genius do? DVI from the projector... around... and VGA BACK INTO THE PROJECTOR!! She's like "I don't understand why it's not working??!" My coworker says "it's because you have the projector plugged into ITSELF.' and everyone in the room proceeded to have a good laugh at her cost! Of course.. none of those wise asses could figure it out either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
