Printers - MY HP PRINTER STOPPED WORKIGN WHEN I CHANGED CARTRIDGTES


Expert: Rundletech - 7/2/2006

Question
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

I have a pc with a HP 710C printer that worked fine until yesterday.  When the ink on one of the cartridges ran out, I went and got another one, and the light on the bottom of the printer (printer attention) keeps blinking and the machine will not print.  I bought two new cartridges for both color and black and put them in.  Still blinking.   Can you think of a way to fix this?  I already bought the two ink cartridges and the price of them (almost 60 dollars) would have been enough to get another printer (although no doubt a printer that uses different print cartridges than the new ones).  Is there any practical way to make that light stop blinking and get this computer back on line?  

Answer
Hello John,
While the printer is on unplug from the wall for 70 seconds this will allow the printers motherboard to clear the error.
Then plug it back in and then run the install.

Another common problem is people forget to remove the plastic stip from the bottom of the cartridge.
