There's a few problems with printers these days. They are getting more complicated, so when something does go wrong, it can be an easy fix, but you have to be able to find the menu to fix it. (Google is useful for that) The other problem is that they are made of plastic these days so they don't make good anchors. Before we get that far, lets see if it is one of those easy fixes.
Some common problems are highlighted below, such as doing a nozzle or printhead clean if quality has deteriorated.
Please be aware though, that the average inkjet printer will start to play up after around 1 1/2 years to 2 years, its sometimes easier, cheaper and quicker to get a replacement.
Boat Anchor Printer.
If you are experiencing problems with the print quality, first follow the manufacturers instructions to do a print head or nozzle clean.
There will also on most inkjet printers be a nozzle check pattern which needs to be checked to look for improvement.
If your printer is not accepting the cartridge it could be because the cirtcuitry is programmed to only work for a certain period of time (1 use). In many cases these messages can be overridden by following the instructions on the screen.
If your printer is an older Canon, you probably have to press and hold the stop/reset button for 10 seconds. New Canons will need a chip reset machine to make them work, there is no over ride procedure.
If you have a Lexmark or HP with only 2 cartrdiges you probably cant do anything about it. In many cases we recommend genuine caretridges or buying a more economical printer.
Some HP printers may work after acknowledging that it is not a genuine cartridge.
Epsons will also give this warning but they will usually work with no problems after pressing OK. Epson compatible cartridges are much better value than the original brand. Open an original one up and see how much of the cartridge actually contains ink and how much contains air!!
Sometimes the printer will not accept the cartridge because it does not recognise it. Removing the cartridge and cleaning the copper contacts or chip and reinserting will often solve the problem.
Some ink & toner cartridges both compatible and genuine are faulty from the start. We offer immediate replacement on all compatible cartridges if there seems to be a fault. This is very uncommon these days.
If no improvement please call our number, 0488 88 INKS (4657). If we cant offer immediate assistance we will have a technician call you back.
Some Brother toner cartridges do not accept as a new toner when installed. This happens with genuine, compatible. There is a procedure that we can give you over the phone to over ride the toner empty warning, but the cartridge will still need to be looked at. Once again, please call us for trouble shooting advice.
