Some news concerning the HP Photosmart C3170...
Back from Germany with Ink, I refilled 2 originals HP 338 and 343 cartridges and the printer started a new life!!:weee:weee:ya:ya
Only problem was to make the Scanner working with Mac OS 10.6.8... Hahahaha...
I spend a day to make it working.:he
I...
Normally it's not allowed to "grap" things from Recycling place
either but I do have good connections with the keeper of the place.;)
I will have a look tomorrow. (Revolution day in France today;)...)
Best regards
Yes PeterBJ,
I'm gonna borrow a PC to try out.
Very clever idea with a multimeter.
The cable look damaged at some parts and it's for a MP520.
By touching the ribbon it was jumping from black to white.
Best regards and many thanks for the advises.
You wise man:bow
and if anybody needs some pieces for Printers... feel free to contact me...
I do have 2 x MP500 (printhead burned) and logic board not working.
Some HP...etc...
Luckly I live closed from a Recycling area with a Supermarket behind...
They always bring broken printers (a lot...) a real Alibaba...
Thank you all... folks!!:weee
I'm gonna order some Ink to refill the Original Canon Carts.
Magenta and Black are at a kind of very low Level.
I don't want to burn the print head nozzles.;)
What do you think about this Ink Shop prices from Hamburg...
Hello PeterBJ,
here's a new Nozzles check, after leaving the printhead in a Ajax Windows cleaner with a little bit of Isopropyl Alcohol 17 hours and washed and dried out (no water drops nowhere found before I plugged in again ;-)
It seems to be good or...?
Tell me what you think about.
Thanks in...
Hello there,
here I'm back again...
Found on the trash a beautiful Canon MP620.
Before making a big mistake (Printhead burn out etc...) I want to share with you (PeterBJ :bow)
what you think about. Plugged in...Everything wwas working. Cartridges are original Canon one and almost full.
I did...
Hello PeterBJ,
thanks for replying. I wonder too and I suspect,if the cart are not the right ones, that's there might be a contact problem.
Otherwise I should have got an "Error" message.
I cleaned everything with Isopropalic Alcohol and I got both of the stamps on the kitchen absorber paper...
Hello there,
Jumping from a Canon thread to an Hp...
I got (also) from the Recycling (junk) place a nice Hp Photosmart C3170 which looked in good condition.
Brought it home, plugged it in and it worked (at least, it powered on).:ya
I inserted 2 Hp brand new Original cartridges (92/93) and...
Thank you for your help...
I did some mistakes for sure...:hitQuestion: how to fix it??
I'm reading and reading...get so many informations!!:ya
Need to study...:bow
Thanks "The Hat" for your great response.Sounds very clear like spring water... However, I found my first MP500 (let's call it "a") on trash can... after nozzle check it as you could read on my first explanation, I figured out that the PGBK nozzle wasn't working...what was the reason? I'll never...
Hello there,
I was thinking about something...:bow
would it be possible that because of a defect or clogged printhead the mother board could burn component like capacitor for example...because both of the MP500 I got had a clogged or "defekt" printhead...and all this printer are already old...
Thank you all...Wise people....
I spend a mart of my night reading thread....
Amazing interesting.
By the way....I do have the chance to live close from a "Recycling place"...and I'm collecting printer there...
If anybody needs some spare parts... I can look for.
Just let me know...
Best regards...
Thank you very much Peter for your Wise advices.
I will make a cable and control it as you did.
But I tested already both of the PS and they deliver the right Voltage.
I just think that there was a problem with the Printhead which burnt the logic board on both cases...
I will try...
Hello "The Hat",
Thanks for replying... unfortunately as I remembered, it flashed many times and than it stopped for ever.
I tried to bring back to life but nothing happened...:hit
