printer problem


Recommended Posts

I have a HP Deskjet D1660 printer, and when i change my ink cartridge, it would not print.

It says "Printer is offline".

I have tried everything to solve the problem.

I have switched it on and off a couple of times, i have re installed the drivers to amke sure they are up to date.

Is there anything i can do to solve this problem. I relay on my printer to download KH stuff.

Hope some IT people can help?

If it is a USB connected printer, try unplugging it from the computer. Then restart the computer. When the computer is up and running, and has stopped loading start up items, turn the printer on and plug it into a USB port. Windows should detect the printer and load the drivers. USB devices need to be plugged in when the computer is already on to be detected for the first time anyway.

If you still have problems, make sure the printer is set for "online" there should be a button next to the online indicator light to press.

I hope this helps!

I have gone the Squid route, too messy and expensive to feed!

Printer ink has always been a great gimmick for the printer manufacturers. They can practically give the printers away for free and make their money on ink cartridges. They sell ink for over $50 an ounce!

Then refilled and after market cartridges got popular so they had to add chips to the cartridges and readers to the printers so they wouldn't except after market print cartridges or refilled OEM ones.

I finally gave up and paid the extra money for Laser printers. Now one toner cartridge lasts me almost two years and cost $45.00.

That's what I did too. Mine is HP Laser and I went into the menu and did an over ride so I could use up all the ink in the cartridge. I got the message to change cartridge about a year ago and did the little change thing and am still using the same cartridge. That's a whopping 5 yrs on the same one.:thumbsup:

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.
