I found strong black after soaking in white vinegar. But printing text anything always comes blank, including service menu EEPROM information printout. So... this printer is ready for the recycling center :somad. If anybody wants S750 parts for free, feel free to ask!

No, some black ink remains around head after cleaning cycle, then nothing came after printing text in several settings (draft/normal/hq). Only the test pattern from control panel produced a fading line of faint black vertical stripes, so the nozzles may not be dead. Hope deeper soaking in...

My S750 had not been used for half a year but was stored in a cool basement. Black disappeared completely. I should have read this before showering it! After a few minutes pressure feeding the black inlet with hot tap water and a small rubber hose, the water flushing down the sink turned black...

There may be bluetooth adapters but I dislike RF/microwave devices that require pairing or may tamper with my health, including PLC adapters. My print jobs are small enough to fit in a low bandwidth. I found the ACTiSYS ACT-IR100MP, but it costs more than I'm willing to pay for the ease of...

Going back to the 930C after failure of my other printer (Canon S750). When opening the lid, the head now seeks the "dead color" smiley. Never seen in front of the "low level" icon, but went back to "good" position once after soaking one night in water, then the builtin test printed only a few...

Smear test OK, the three lines went on the absorbent paper after hitting the cartridge. The contacts look clean on both printer and cartridge. The self-test (that prints patterns and scans them with a blue light) leaves a page with green checkmarks everywhere but only black, yellow and blue...

Has anybody known the B&W laserjets with an IrDA port, seen as a large black eye under the control panel ? I saw them at work 10 years ago. Then I bought an used 2300dn 4 years ago but the infrared port was gone. I can't stand wireless in my house, but it is practical to print from an IBM...

Hi printer collectors ! My first inkjet was a BJC-6000, I even had it repaired (fried motor driver chip when carelessly moving the head by hand, had to swap the motherboard). Paper feed stopped working after moving to a new house despite reusing original package, perhaps some thin plastic part...

Hi everybody, I was given a 930C and bought refilled cartridges for it at a Cartridge World shop, but after printing a few tens of color schematics (only thin lines) the magenta stopped printing. When opening the lid, the print head stops in front of the :) icon, so the sensor does not say this...
