Thread starter ltsang Start date Sep 14, Joined Mar 16, Messages 73 Reaction score 0 Points My printer was working fine until this afternoon, when I have a lot to print tomorrow which reminded me to fill up the ink cartridges beforehand.
The four cartridges are at half but I top them up anyway. After the refill, I do a print head test and it showed perfect. I started the first page printing in color and halfway down the page the magenta faded left me with a half greenish page. I did a couple of head cleaning and no magenta showed up. The other colors and the black were perfect. I then tried a few other normal ways to clear up the magenta print head, no luck.
I then performed two deep cleaning, and still no magenta. I looked at all the cartridges, and found the printer actually used half the ink in each cartridge to do the two deep cleaning except that the magenta cartridge is still full. Thus I come to the conclusion that the magenta path is really clogged and the pump for the head cleaning is working. Another thing that brings me to this conclusion is that when I push the print head against a clean paper towel, I got the other colors except the magenta.
I tried so many ways trying to clean up this clog until I gave up and pour some ammonia on top of the magenta screen overnight and see if it clears the path tomorrow. It was probably my 10th time I refilled this and I have always use the Durchstichmethod on the oem cartridge. I tried flush the print head under the tap, blow compress on the screens, clean the contacts. Just don't understand why the magenta alone die right after I refilled the cartridges. Itsang, This sounds like what I have experienced when there is a problem with a cart.
The filter can become clogged to a point where it takes too much suction to pull ink from the cart - this is why the hot water technique was developed. It is also possible that the sponges have been knocked out of position - this will also disrupt the ink flow. If the sponge isn't flat against the bottom and front and back, gently tap the cart not on the discharge port!
Make sure that it isn't jammed too tightly against the back, or it will plug the air grooves and not pull ink from the ink chamber. I removed the printer from the list of devices and then connected it back up. Windows 8 picked up the printer and went off looking for drivers.
The printer installed but I still cant print! The printer shows up in the list of devices as 'An Inkjet Printer' in Win 7 it used to give the full name!? I checked the Windows 8 site and it show up as this printer being compatible. Any assistance appreciated! This thread is locked.

I have the same question 8. Report abuse. Details required :. Cancel Submit. Ravinath P. Click Drivers and Software. Select Windows as the operating system: c. Select OS version as Windows 8. Follow the same steps as mentioned in Method 2 and select OS version as Windows 7 b. Let the printer install the drivers and then check the functionality. How satisfied are you with this reply? The symptom of dried nozzles is white horizontal lines in the print for one or more colors.
Usually you can print a nozzle check from your printer software which shows a pattern of lines. If a nozzle is dried, it will show a blank where there should be a line. Dried nozzles can be caused by several things, including a poorly seated ink cartridge, or lack of use letting the printer sit for a few weeks without using.
Sometimes print heads can be "resuscitated". Of course, first start by running several cleaning cycles using your printer's software. If that doesn't work, try removing the printhead and carefully cleaning the bottom of it with water.
Some of our customers have reported they've been able to get their print head unclogged by soaking the nozzles in Windex.
These seals have two purposes: 1 to keep the printhead from drying out when it is not printing, and 2 to provide a tight seal for strong suction when the printer is self-cleaning the head. Some printers also have rubber wiper blades that move across the bottom of the printhead to remove accumulated ink.
This prevents a tight seal, allowing the head to dry out. The good news: the rubber can be cleaned! Best tool is a Q-tip dipped in water. For easier access to the parking station, open the cover of the printer so that the print head carriage comes to the middle as if to replace an ink cartridge.
Unplug power from the printer.
