James Kerman Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Greetings and welcome to the forum, @Peter Manson. I'm no support expert but I do own a HP printer and have had some problems with it. The usual solution for me is to reinstall the drivers. I'm assuming you're using windows - got to program files and uninstall all the HP stuff related to your printer. Download the new drivers for your model and operating system from HP support and install. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargamel Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Usually less hassle to go buy a new printer. Use up the ink it comes with, and go buy another printer. New printers are generally cheaper than the replacement ink they require. And I'd try the HP support web page, not the KSP forum.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katateochi Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I got rather angry with my last HP printer....I might have voided its warranty since then I've gone paperless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use up the ink it comes with, and go buy another printer. New printers are generally cheaper than the replacement ink they require. Step 1: Admit you don't need color. Step 2: Stop that. You don't need color. Your color inkjets die because you don't use them often enough. Step 3: Get a laser. The cartridges last 10x longer, never dry out, cost way less in the long run, and the printer will outlive your computer both in lifetime and usefulness.

She never used the color, but the stupid things had to be in there for it to function. I once had an all-in-one that wouldn't even scan without good cartridges because it was so entwined with the "copy" function. Inkjet printers are nothing more than a scam. I'm surprised this thread is even still here. It's hopelessly off topic, and I'm pretty sure started by a bot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently picked up a refurb BW laser for like $50. Scanner, copier fax, printer. Mainly picked it up for printing circuit boards, but with the holidays coming, I've printed off dozens of bandsaw templates for various wood shop projects. Definitely worth it.
