LOPEZ 1750 Posted February 12, 2014 So my printer is being a piece of shit, any ideas? Replaced all the ink recently so that it's all full, and have run every possible cleaning process that the printer offers. I'd appreciate it if someone knew what the issue is, pretty fucked without a printer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ichalvl 1752 Posted February 12, 2014 Is there a rod that you can pull out? At least for my old printer, there was a built in rod you could "scrub" the insides with Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clamps 4783 Posted February 12, 2014 There should be a "realign" option. Try that and if it fails its most likely the print heads. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B-cock #1 641 Posted February 23, 2014 Did it just start happening when you bought the ink? If it did, is it the genuine ink or some refill? If it did just happen when you got the ink, typically if you dampen the head with some water then it may help it because sometimes it just dries out.
