HP C3100 that while a black printer ink 92 drys out cartridge or malfunctions between print jobs

Hi, my C3100 of HP all-in-One printer works very well with a black ink cartridge new 92. Once I have do not use the printer for a while, maybe a few months, it will not print. I use the printer as a standalone Copier right now. The cartridge has printed perhaps only ten pages and now it's not even a hint of ink on paper. This has happened since the purchase of the printer/copier and we had to replace the ink cartridge every time. This isn't a software problem I use the stand alone unit. I am convinced that if I install another new cartridge 92 unit will print. How can I keep the ink don't dry out, if that's even the problem? Why the ink must be dry? Should I get another type of printer for limited use? Never heard talk about the ink dry before. Please respond as I want to copy something but I'm tired of having to install a new ink cartridge in order to. Thank you for your help.

@ jsklein - here is a link you might find useful dealing with storage and handling of the cartridges. It will focus on the best way to keep cartridges don't dry out. I hope this helps.

  • T120: Will be this Ink Jet Dry Out?

    I'm looking to replace my designJet 450 c late which lasted about 14 years. My biggest complaint with this printer was that after sometimes go months without printing, the nozzles on the ink cartridges would be dry. I was able to revive the black ink cartridge by rubbing its nozzles with isopropyl alcohol on a Q-Tip, but color cartridges were less forgiving and had to be replaced long before their ink have been spent. I finally gave up on using color printing.

    I would like a new printer 24 inch large format color, mainly used for architectural drawings, and the T120 is in my budget. The question is, is ink technology and feel similar to that of the 450 HP. and so give me the same problems of drying out or have improved that will give me years of carefree color printing without ink with clogged nozzles?

    To be honest continuous months without printing is never a good idea with any inkjet printer even high-end.  The new Designjet printers uses a different method for the delivery of the ink in your old c of 450.  On your old printer, the ink and the print heads are one unit if the ink ran out you need to replace or if the printhead part went wrong, you need to replace.  Plotters of today have separate and distinct from the printheads ink tanks.  They use a set of tube between the two to provide the necessary ink.  The print heads contain little ink since it must flow from the top down and is powered by the tanks and the tubes where the ink is under pressure.  Also, service stations where parks of the carriage house when not not used are made better and cap the print heads better to provide a better seal to avoid drying out.  Usually, I recommend to my clients to print a flush at least once every 2 weeks.  May be a small article, but it keeps the cool heads and prevents the clogging in the long term.  On most modern conspirators, I see today, printing heads last 2 to 5 years without problem.  Also, as far as I saw never ink tanks go wrong.  On some models, the inks expire, but most allow for continuous printing with inks has expired.  Most recent plotters also have a cleaning routine that cleans the print heads when the obstruction has occurred.  Hope this helps with your decision.

  • Queue: print jobs are automatically send to the printer

    Original title:

    Queue

    I often work on the laptop when I'm not at work.

    My laptop I send jobs to the printer to work. The next day when I turn on the computer in my office, jobs are automatically send to the printer.

    Printer at work has changed to a new one (Minolta) and I can't do this anymore.

    What I can do!

    Thank you

    If you have been sending documents to the specific printer then you should be able to start the computer when you are at work and locate the printer in devices and printers. Right click on the printer and choose to see what's printing. When the print queue is displayed with your documents, choose printer, printer to use online.

    Note that older documents which have kept the printer used previously (Word documents and Excel workbooks are two examples of programs that keep the information on the printer), and then you should make sure that you send the print job to the printer.

  • Cannot cancel queued print job

    I have an Officejet 4500 printer who was printing fine, and then I have a paper stuck in the print queue that I can't cancel.  I have: (1) printing cancelled printer several times - he says job is canceled, but then the power button flashes.  (2) turned repeatedly printer power switch and when I turn it back on again the same old print job starts printing again (and that's a big print job). (3) used HP-online tool to scan for the printer and it says everything is fine, but when I go to print a test page, the same old work printer starts printing again.  The only thing I did is removed the printer from my computer and reinstall the driver, but my concern is the print job does not appear in the my computer print queue and it is now at the printer (?).  Help!

    Hello

    From the desktop, hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run window, type services.msc and press to enter.  Scroll down to the print spooler service, right click and select Properties, then click the Stop button.  Now search for C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS, then delete the work inside this folder - you may need to click a command prompt to get the authority to open the PRINTERS folder.

    Restart the computer and you should find that the documents have been deleted.

  • HP PHotosmart 5520: HP Photosmart 5520 no black printing; I'm out of $58.99 for the HP ink cartridges that I can't use

    So after stopping my printer print in black ink, I came across the forums looking for the problem. I tried all the recommended / suggested "patches", nothing happens. To realize that it is a known problem with these printers, and after talking with a HP technician by phone who informed me that the printer is broken, I spent the rest of my morning trying to find someone at HP for please compensate me for the $58.99 I spent on HP ink cartridges I can no longer use or return - it was only after I installed new cartridges that I learned the printer is Broken - in order to buy another HP printer. (I have been perfectly willing to buy another HP printer because the 5220 has been very good for us).

    The best they could offer me was $17 a $99 replacement printer that is off * not * compatible with new ink cartridges I currently have. Then, after my calculations, this would be 58,99 $ + $82 = $140,99 to be able to print again.

    Not exactly a lot, IMHO.

    Very disappointed with the HP customer service.  Will not buy products more HP.

    I would like to please mark it as "resolved".

    After posting my question on this forum, I was contacted by an army of knowledgeable, helpful HP of the people who have worked hard and quickly to help me and solve my problem. Compared to the frustrating help/customer service I received through call HP, it's like dealing with a completely different company.  In hindsight, I regret to have never wasted my time trying to solve my problem by phone, but to be honest, I've posted my question here of frustration, not expecting any resolution, but rather an opportunity to evacuate.

    What happened after I posted here is, indeed, a very pleasant surprise.

    I was put in contact with a representative of HP who gave me a discount on the purchase of a new HP printer (which I got yesterday) and with his help have also made arrangements to return my ink cartridges (still expensive) open but little used in Exchange for a set of new compatible with my new HP printer cartridges.

    Just what I was looking for was for HP to support their products - who loved us and we served well and were ready to buy again - and ultimately, they did it just to our satisfaction.

    Thank you very much to all those who helped us.

  • Photosmart 6515 does not print black ink after replaced the cartridge

    I am very frustrated! I can't get my Photosmart 6515 print black ink.

    Our school sends the documents by e-mail now that we have to print at home. Ideal for them, but not for me. They are usually in PDF format, so I do not have the ability to edit and change the blue color to print, either.

    I only use HP cartridges on this printer. I know it's more than a year, in order to call phone support will do no good.

    I replaced both cartridges and now it shows black ink completely full, but when I print the printer status report, black is not displayed. Black does not appear on the tool pages, either.

    I tried the command "clean printhead" several times. I unplugged and waited. I took all the cartridges. Connections look clean.

    What should I do to perform a partial reset or full?

    Hi Photokool,

    I understand that this has been a frustrating experience for you, and I want to help him.

    I will send you a private message, please check the little envelope on the upper right of the forums page to check your Inbox of Forums.

  • I have a Brother printer. I have almost a full black cartridge, but have more color. Printer tells me that I can not print, but is there a way to get around this? I should be able to print in black only.

    I have a Brother printer. I have a lot of black ink, but am very low on color. The printer always tells me that I can not print even if I press the black and do not want to use black to print a document of law. Is there a way to get around this?

    You must ask brother if this is possible or not.

  • Can I use only a black of ink (301xl or 301) for my printer hp deskjet 2050?

    Can I use only black of ink (301xl or 301) for my printer hp deskjet 2050 and not the color one (empty)?

    Hello

    I don't think it will work. The cartridge three colors need inks in it, at least one color.

    Kind regards.
