i placed a brand new black cartridge yesterday, i made 10 copies and then i have problem to print black or coulor pages. When i give the instruction to copy a blank page is coming out and power button blinks. Maybe the colour cartridge is dry bacause is very old, can this prevent my machine to make printouts???
Thank you

- Dear Friend
The heads are at the end of the cartridge??..... where the ink is spreaded. I cleaned all the cartridge several times, i try calibration test, clean test from software but no result.Ink level states full black and half color (this i believe is dried). I used other laptop, i remove and reinstalled the software again
Have in mind that i dont want to spent more money for this printer to buy color cartridge because i prefer to buy with less money a brand-new printer.
Thanks.
there are a few steps to take.... try a few head print head cleanings ... then attempt to print a test page ...next clean the catridge contacts as this fixes lots of problems ... just follow the instructions on the hp support site .... a big problem with underused inkjet type printers is the print heads dry out over time... you can rejuvinate a dry print head by removing it and setting it on a moistend papertowel overnight ... use distilled or spring water... you could also simply replace the colour cartridge
Yes. I have had my Dell 1700 printer since early 1997 or 1998 and have replaced the toner cartridge...

Yes. I have had my Dell 1700 printer since early 1997 or 1998 and have replaced the toner cartridge 3 times, self cleaned about once a year or two and it has survived 7 moves with the US Coast Guard overseas and in country. I can't really say it stands out since this was the 1st and only laser printer I have ever owned, but, I think it's longevity muct speak for itself. I can say that as far as my printing applications hve gone over the past decade, I hve owned 6 inkjet printers and spent thousands of dollars on ink for my many digital photos from around the world, yet, my Dell 1700 is the old reliable with only 3 toner refills, (the good one's, not remanufactered, about $59- 80 dollars depending on area of country), so, I must say I am very pleased with th product and it's durability.
