Greetings. After a year of flawless operation from my HP DeskJet I have
a bizzare problem.
I recently purchased a new print cartridge out of running out of ink in my
old one. I installed the new cartridge. It printed fine for several days,
I printed maybe 70 pages total, then it died. It's death was nearly
identical to the manner in which they die when they run out of ink; it fizzled
out in the middle of a line, you could see it fade then dissapear.
So, I got another cartridge, from another place even...same exact events.
The cartridge was fine for several days, then, kaput. I *know* these
are not out of ink, I usually get 300-500 pages from a cart, and I can
feel by weight that they are full. I did try spinning the cart about to
drive ink down into the bottom by centripidal force, and indeed I was able
to print about an eigth of a page before it died once more.
I've tried priming many times, I have done everything the book says. I have
tried reaching HP customer support have have been getting a busy all day, so
I ask for advice.
Please MAIL replys as I do not read this group normally.
Thankyou
