I bought above printer in feb 2010. Will not print anything from my PC. Message on printer panel said cyan ink low. Got a new one and installed it correctly. Tried to print something, said blank ink is low. Got new black and installed (also got the magenta and yellow just in case). Guess what - panel said yellow is low. So I installed yellow and magenta so it now has new ones all round and it still does not print. It is OK with a printhead clean page and a test page and an alighment page. All beautiful in glorious color but still won't print from PC. I have tried printing emails and selections from Excel files - nothing. Control panel / printers / ... / print queue shows them all in the queue but with no status.
All cables (USB and power) have been checked, disconnected, reconnected at both ends and no problem with them. Have tried using the other 2 USB ports - no joy.
Have reinstalled the printer driver by download (no joy) and from CD which came with the printer (also no joy). When I open the printer cover and close it again, print head does its usual set up and then goes back to its rest position. It does not seem to recognise there is anything in the queue. When the problem first arose, it printed stuff from the queue after I restarted the PC, but that did not work a second time.
The printer has been perfectly good until this problem started about a week ago. Can anyone help me please? I'm about to throw the b... machine out the window!
