DeskJet 940c: 940c cartridge light flashing

Similar Questions

• HP 6940 power, resume, right cartridge lights flashing continuously

  I found my 6940 HP with power, which takes up and fires right cartridge like crazy. I did everything that I could Google to try to resolve the problem, several times in the course:

  • Power cycle, including remove the power cable from the plug
  • factory reset (report, press Cancel x 3
  • Remove/replace cartridges
  • move the rear cart & more
  • start without installed black cartridge
  • start without installed color cartridge
  • start without any cartridges installed
  • Check and check for paper jams (he was never that I can tell)

  In each case, my method was.

  • Remove the power plug from the back, wait 15 seconds to replace.
  • Try something from the above list

  In each case, the printer works fine for a few minutes. It's the ping requests, it is accessible via the integrated web page and a test page can be the printer. In each case, after a few minutes, the lights flash, and the printer is no longer pings or via the web page. When the lid is raised, the bar that prevents the cartridges come off, is stuck in the up position (preventing removal).

  I'm afraid that the thing bought the farm, but I've always been happy with it and will not replace it (all they seem to do today are these monstrosities multi-function) if there's a chance someone knows something that can fix.

• Cartridges lights flash on full cartridges

  My officejet pro K8600dn shows lights flashing on the printer cartridges, while the cartridges are full. Putting the printer turned off and didn't help. When I do a very strong push on the cartridges, that the lamps are going out and I can print. Then the lights flashing again. By the way: I only use original HP cartridges.  My desktop computer HP Pavilion and OS Windows 7 pro 64 x, has already the latest version of the software and the driver, but it does not solve the problem.

  Using authentic HP inks? I would clean the contacts on the cartridges to make sure the accumulation of ink was not causing and delivered with the printer being able to read that the cartridges are inserted correctly. If after manual cleaning, you still have a problem, I would like to do a hard reset of the printer. A hard reset will attempt to restore the printer to a known working condition and no user parameters are lost with a hard reset. First of all, start by cleaning, I know the model presented is not the same, but the cleaning cartridge is what one wants to follow.  To do this:

  1. Open the cartridge door.

• Fill the cartridges of ink on deskjet 9800. Red light flashing, won't print. Always worked before.

  Your Question: I haven't found new, original HP cartridges for my deskjet 9800 in any store. I so did my ink on deskjet 9800 as I did with success several times in the past. Two red lights keep flashing. It won't print. [Someone suggested that I need a new print head?] What should do? thanx

  The coding strip only should be cleaned if there is a problem - it is very fragile and can be damaged, making the printer inoperable.  There is a post here that describes how do to clean the MICR band, but respect the warnings and don't do it unless necessary.  There is also a post here that shows how to solve one of the problems mishandling can cause.  Do not clean the Strip unless necessary.

  The coding is the band one located just behind the stem of transport semi-claire. It aims to help the print cartridge faithfully keep track of its position as it moves along the stem of transport. Sometimes dust, ink or oil can accumulate on this strip and cause the following problems:

  • Prints "stairs" to the bottom of the left margin of the self-test page.
  • The margins left or right of the self-test are not properly placed.
  • Ink cartridges carriage slams on the left side of the printer.
  • Automatic test double-print or obscured shows the letters.
  • Defects to flow the length of a printed page (portrait orientation), or on the whole page (landscape orientation).
  • Printing stops and the lights of the Control Panel on the printer indicate an error.
  • Gaps appear in the printed text or images.
  • Slow printing

  CAUTION:

  Do not clean the strip of coding for the following symptoms: media pick questions, paper jam tilt, ink cartridge, missing points or rejection white stripes with printing and smeared or streaked black ink.

   

• printer all-in-one PSC 1315: check the ink cartridge light flashes

  the last time I printed the page came out very laboriously and slowly. The next time I turned on the print cartridge check printer is flashing. My specific request is the medium that contains the cartridges is a little loose (up and down) approximately 1/16 "or more. Is this normal? Thanks in advance for any advice...

  It is normal that there is to play in the transport. Slow printing is caused by the failure of one of your cartridges.  The document here may help address the error lights.

• DeskJet 932C - the power light is on and the cartridge flashing

  Hello! I know my DeskJet 932C is 'old', but it seems to be in excellent condition.  First time that I had a problem.  The power light is on and the cartridge is flashing.  When I open the cover, the plateau of the cartridge moves to the far left.  The arrow points to the unfortunate color cartridge.  The missed years ago color cartridge.  I use my printer to print B & W, so I've been printing with the empty cartridge in place for years.

  I removed a reinserted the color and B & W cartridges and turn on the power and turns off.  I used the HP print and scan doctor, and it's scan does not have something wrong, I clicked on print a test page, and nothing happens.  The test page is listed as 1 document in the queue.   Status: error - printing.

  The printer has been in its current position on my desk for years.  It was not known of any trauma... None does damage... no power failure.  It's clean.  Has been connected to 4 laptops and uninterrupted service.

  I prefer not to buy a new color cartridge.

  Would appreciate help.  I would like to know what it means and if there is a solution.

  Thank you!

  The printer will perform electrical cartridges to light control and a few other times.  If an error printing can be blocked to avoid damaging the printer.  Clean the contacts of the cartridge as shown in the document here can solve the problem, otherwise you will probably need to replace the color cartridge.  The 932 Deskjet will allow printing with an empty cartridge, but for years, the cartridge may fail electrically and needs to be replaced.

• Re: Persuade a Deskjet 940c make it work with Windows 7

  Is there another way to get this driver?  Computer Windows 7 I try to reconnect a Deskjet 940c is on a network of government agencies.  Even though I have the administrator rights on the machine, a strategy is defined at a higher level which disables the function of Windows Update on this machine.  The Windows Update button is not even.  It seems that there is a place on the HP web site where I could get this driver, but I was not able to find it.  Can you tell me a way I can get this driver without having to use the Windows Update feature?  Thank you.

  I tried with the 32-bit and 64-bit versions and downloaded without problem.  You could try one more time, or perhaps download on a less binding system and move files with a CD or thumb drive.

• Printing with different paper size (hp deskjet 940c)

  I sell things on ebay; Therefore, I have to go to the post office every day and write the shipping address of the vendors on a label of post office.  I want to print this label at home.  How can I set up a usps label in my hp deskjet 940c printer.

  Hello!

  I used the USPS print on eBay Wizard to print a label for shipping on my printer.  If you are printing on plain paper, then use ribbons of packaging on the label, you are finished.  Also, they will pick up your packages at home, if you use a pre-printed label.  Stamps make nervous, however.

  The next time you sell something, there should be a link "print shipping label", you can click on.  You must measure the box and have a fairly accurate weight.  I use a scale, then round.  If you have a kitchen scale, which would work better, I think.

  According to me, who must take care of it!  I would like to know if you have any questions or encounter a problem.

  Best regards, CF
