Due to the difficult economic/employment situation in the US and my 314.159 days of unemployment, the last 42 of which were absent of any cash receipts from the state I have had to radically alter my printing techniques and cartridge refilling protocols. Fortunately, it is summer and my...

Moving friends (A) head to your (B) printer may give some light: 1) the printer pins on B may have carved a fresh clean contact surface on the contact pads of A. 2) removing the print head and/or carts may have permitted the vacuum/air balance of the offending cart(s) to be reestablished. 3)...
