Hello all, I've owned this printer for about 6 years now so perhaps it's just reached the end of its life.
Anyway, before I scrap it I thought I might as well seek a resolution to the problem. Basically I am have problems with the black ink (32/34) printing. Whenever I print a word-processed doc or an image with black the black is streaky and, in places, completely missing. Obviously I have tried changing cartridges but, alas, that hasn't worked. (In fact, I have 3 "full" black cartridges.) I've also referred to the user-manual and followed the 'troubleshooting' guide but still no resolution. (Print alignment page, print a nozzle-cleaning page, remove and replace cartridge.) I've also tried rubbing the cartridges with antisceptic wipes as suggested by the cartridge retailer. I don't really want to buy a new printer really because I do VERY LITTLE printing. So if I can somehow save this one I'd be pleased. (Sod's law, it has decided not to work today when I have 100 double-spaced pages of word processing to print!) Any experince with this problem?? Many thanks.
