Default A tale of a cheapo ink cartridge ...

Arfa Daily scribbled...




As you were using cheapo carts, I'm surprised you didn't look at them
first.


Well, hindsight is, as we all know, a wonderful thing. But be honest here,
would you really have immediately thought of a single faulty cartridge out
of an array of 6, to cause the printer to fail to recognise that *any*
cartridges were in place ? Also given the fact that it is never turned off,
was used the day before, and the offending cartridge had been in place for
some weeks ? Jeff L thought that it was an unusual problem that he wouldn't
have thought of, and he repairs printers all the time ... :-)


I've learned to look at the simple stuff first - electrical fault - is
it plugged in, batteries flat, etc, etc.
