Thank you stratman for your prompt feedback.
I found out the shop where I bought it (azerty.nl) had not closed the ink carriage arm...
Hope this didn't do any permanent damage when the printer tried to start up.
Hello,
Hope you are all doing fine.
Seems like I have a similar problem. Just got a refurbished Pro100, unboxed it, started it following the manual (print head and ink tanks had already been inserted at the shop, apparently), screeching noise and the orange error light starts to blink...

I read this thread and learned that this means my print head is dead. I also learned...
Hallo Ink Stained Fingers, and thanks for your reaction!
Sorry, didn't mean to get you irritated. Since I had seen on the Kitencre website that it seemed they made ink for different brands separately, I asked the vendor why it said on the box that these inks could be used for different brands...
Hello everyone,
As I wrote in my new-member post, I am starting to experiment with different printers, given to me by friends and through the internet. As I don't know yet where I want to end up, I decided to try to refill the carts of a HP Deskjet 1000 110a that was given to me (which uses...
