Printer Problem

[janitor53]

hey folks, I have a weird problem. I have a HO 1350 and all of my print jobs now are coming out blank. I switched out cartridges but it's still happening, I even tried to do a print test straight from the printer and it's also blank. Any ideas?
thanks in advance.

Try this for kicks, take a bit of rubbing alcohol and wipe down the contacts on the cartridges. Also, I have done this before, make sure you pull the clear seal tape off the contacts before installing them.

When you replace the cartridges it looks like the print heads arent replaced with them.
Once blocked they will stay blocked until cleaned.

A friend recently cleaned his very well with car brake fluid !

For that model, the print heads are on the cartridges. That is why I suggested making sure he removed the plastic coating that they ship with. Also if he rubs it a bit with alcohol, he should see ink on the wiping cloth/paper towel.

One more tip to try:

Take out the ink cartridges and swab the contacts on the printer side with alcohol as well to insure they are clean.
