Hello,
Recently I was given an HP 870Cse to have since the owners couldn't fix
it. After fixing it, I printed it's test page to find that blue and
black were both missing. I decided to buy a refill kit.
I took the cartridges from the 870 (#45 and #41) and refilled them. I
also took the cartridges (#45 new/full and a dry #23 color [C1823G -
Original w/ computer]) from the 712 out and tried them in the 870. When
putting back the original 712 cartridges with a refilled #23 back in, I
got the blinking ink light. I have tried:
* Reseating and cleaning the contacts on both the cartridge and the
housing. Yes, I used rubbing alcohol, but only on the back of the
cartridge where the contacts are.
* Doing a hard reset by unplugging the unit for 30 seconds and then
putting the cartridges back in.
* Taking the #45 out of the 712, putting it in the 870 to make sure it
was actually working (which it is).
* Removing either the color or the black (although I believe both need to
be in).
* Resetting the printer by powering on/off five times in hopes of wiping
the supposed HP EPROM.
The 712C was working without a problem with the same exact cartridges
earlier this day. The only thing that's changed is the fact that I
refilled the color. Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Bob
