Andrewr05 Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Yep, bp9801 is correct. I found this printer without the ink cartridge, so... I can not put one in it to reset it to use it. I don't even NEED this printer to be honest, I have a laser printer and another perfectly functioning MP printer/scanner, I just wanted to try it out. It is still ridiculous that it can not function [at all without ink in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or otherwise trick it into thinking there is a cartridge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stick a lego in there, it doesn't know any better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewr05 Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 I thought about that, just jumping the terminals that the cartridge plugs into. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaporX Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 I can't tell if this is a repeat of what potatochobit said or if I'm just misreading this one somehow. No I understand he is not printing. My point is that the crtridge does not fail unless you are printing. So when it stops a job because it is out of ink the usual response is to get more ink. This means that if you are not printing then you should not be out of ink, unless you never put one in when it went dry and just ignored it. I never do that becuase when I print I want the print out completed. Hence I always have an ink cartridge with ink in my printer.
