HP Thinkjet Printer
I've got an old HP Thinkjet printer which I got out to use as a portable
printer. It has one problem though. It prints some blank lnes in the text / graphics. Kind of like a dot matrix printer with a worn out head. I replaced the ink cartridge so I assume that is not the problem. Any thoughts? Mike |

I think it is realated to bad contacts, but I'm unsure of a good way to test them.. Could be a break in the flexiprint somewhere. Mike |

I had a printer with a split nylon gear. I used some 'Friendly Plastic' aka 'Shape Lock' to patch the gear but my patched together gear has a slight gap in it. The prints have small skipped bands in them. But that is much better than tossing out the printer. :) -- bz 73 de N5BZ k please pardon my infinite ignorance, the set-of-things-I-do-not-know is an infinite set. remove ch100-5 to avoid spam trap |
