    Print cost accounting & Z3100

    Hello!, I've seen screenshots of the HP Print Utility with cost estimation for ink and paper, but I cannot see that for my HP Print 1.17.0.3 connected to a DesignJet Z3100. Anybody knows if it is a versioning thing or the accounting is just not present for Z3100?

    Z3100 refuses to replace printhead

    I was able to draw easily ink from all the ink tubes reaching the printhead but ink never passed through the tubes you can see on the right side of the printer. they seem to be different from what connects the printheads to the ink cartridges.

    Z3100 refuses to replace printhead

    I replaced 4 printheads once more, now I get color in the test pages but something seems to be wrong with the LC printhead.Tests are not consistent, may there be something wrong with that one?. Also, I see air in the tubes. I don't see ink flowing, but printing is working :/

    Pandoras Box or a Treasure?

    Out of curiosity, in other forums somebody mentioned using refillable cartridges with original HP ink from HP 91 cartridges, allegedly lowering cost but keeping quality. Does is make sense?

    Z3100 refuses to replace printhead

    Hello, I see ink leakage on the ink cartridge side, and printer reports "cartridge empty". It's the second cartridge I tested. I would like to check the printhead in case it's clogged on that side but the printer refuses to run the printhead replacement procedure when there are pending...

    Hello! I'm in the need to replace a ink nozzle in a 24" z3100. It seems to be plenty offering of spare parts on eBay but the challenge I face is that there are two type/styles of it: one is 24mm long and the other one is 27mm long. Adding an illustration of one of the offerings: Any...

    Pandoras Box or a Treasure?

    That would be HP paper?. On that front I got people asking for Hahnemühle paper, non OEM but highly regarded from what I understood.
