It printed another self test (no data - just headings, empty boxes & color samples. Lid's still off, laying back on stack of books (couldn't get connectors to scanner loose from pcb.ĭon't know - maybe have to go thru 10 power resets for it to take effect. If wasn't on disability, I'd stop fooling w/ this one.Īs I type, I'm printing out several head cleaning pages. Maybe printers have gotten less expensive, but also generally junkier. BUT - this printer was well > 1/2 off, 4 yrs ago. Maybe 2 - 3 x cost of printer.Īnd yes, if I wasn't on disability, it'd be time to move on. I've saved WELL over the price of printer, just in cost difference of OEM vs compatibles, alone (from one of biggest inksellers).

Maybe they're all junk now.ĭON'T want one w/ colors combined in 1 / 2 cartridges.Ĭlick to expand.Sorry, no can do - IF you mean OEM. For avg home use - All In One types, wondering which brand now has best satisfaction, reliability & least trouble using generic ink. If it's toast, not sure I'd buy an HP (not just because of this - more for HP's apparent declining? reputation). It cost $130 after tax - 4 yrs ago (on sale). None were damaged.Tried plugging printer into wall outlet - no change. Is it just fried? Had a power outage - but it was on surge protector, ALONG w/ modem, router, VOIP ATA, PC, monitor. They turn easily by hand not dirty - just don't engage. * Paper pick up rollers NOT turning - that's true (except for ONE self test w/o the data). With top cover off, can see all pump gears, belt turning normally in warm up. Printed perfect lines, headings & color boxes on self test. * pump motor stalled: DON'T think ink motor is stalled or not working. * ink system failure: (printed perfect text, lines & color boxes on self test) The errors just rotate clear 1, another pops. That clears 1 (or more) errors, but they re-appear. Gone through usual printer reset steps: power reset clearing hardware error codes. report - except color sample boxes (looked fine). What is the usual diagnosis or outcome when an HP C6280 AIO won't print a correct Self Test Diagnostic from control panel? It printed it one (won't print another because of multiple errors) was missing ALL data from boxes & sections of 2 pg.
