Status

Non-functional. Printer works, and will attempt to print, however, resulting pages are blank. Marginal success has been seen depositing magenta and cyan ink during built-in test routines.

History

Was donated in near-new condition, needing only a new ink cartridge. However, more pressing concerns delayed us setting it up for a few years. Recently, we have replaced the ink cartridge, and attempted printing.

Issues

DryInkjets

Prolonged disuse is presumed to have resulted in inkjet heads having dried up.

Ultrasonic cleaning may be a solution. Tool head replacement is documented on youtube.
