Hardware Forum / Peripherals / Printers / February 2006getting ink carts out of HP 4200
I just bought one of these all in one printers and i made the great mistake of putting the color cartridge in the blank ink slot vice versa. now i cant get either one out . i'm looking at the manual and following instructions but they wont budge. Short of a sledgehammer is there another remedy? >I just bought one of these all in one printers and i made the great mistake >of putting the color cartridge in the blank ink slot vice versa. now i cant >get either one out . i'm looking at the manual and following instructions >but they wont budge. >Short of a sledgehammer is there another remedy? Hmmm, difficult. I don't recommend the sledgehammer! I have seen this once or twice and have had to remove the covers and sometimes the carriage to get the printheads out. If you are not confident to do this then your choices are either gentle leverage with a small screwdriver or a repair shop. There may well be a plastic ledge in the carriage which is jamming the heads in and leverage can do permanent damage if you are not very careful. Tony Thanks for esponding. I can get to the cartridges, they are all the way over to the right. i can physically grab them but they seem to be locked into position somehow. >>I just bought one of these all in one printers and i made the great >>mistake [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > permanent damage if you are not very careful. > Tony See Bob Headrick's response. It hadn't occurred to me that it may be a warranty claim. That is the best option for you.

RETURN THE PRINTER AND BUY A CANON MP780 IF YOU MUST HAVE A MF PRINTER. > >I just bought one of these all in one printers and i made the great mistake >of putting the color cartridge in the blank ink slot vice versa. now i cant >get either one out . i'm looking at the manual and following instructions >but they wont budge. >Short of a sledgehammer is there another remedy? I don't recommend self-help. Take it to an authorized HP repair shop in your community. Removing the cartridges is a minor thing and the charge should be very minimal. >I just bought one of these all in one printers and i made the great >mistake of putting the color cartridge in the blank ink slot vice >versa. now i cant get either one out . i'm looking at the manual and >following instructions but they wont budge. > Short of a sledgehammer is there another remedy? Call HP at 1-800-HPINVENt. This should be covered under warranty. Regards, Bob Headrick |
