Printer only printing magenta...
« on: November 08, 2007, 05:35:33 AM »
I assumed that this was because my colour cartridge was running out, but I've replaced it with a new one and still only magenta will print.  Possibly something needs cleaning, but I have no idea what or how.  My printer is a HP Deskjet 895Cxi. 

Please help?

There should be a head cleaning function inside the printer's control panel software.

    Hi
    If cleaning the printer heads by using the utility in the printer properties box doesn´t fix it then you will have to take it to an HP service center and since printers are cheap these days you could buy a new one with warranty.

    Good Luck
