The print head?  \nIf numerous print head cleaning haven't yielded a decent print.  Or worse if you are getting an error message that it isn't recognizing the cartridge/print head. Then you don't repair it, you replace it.

Use the utility software for the printer to clean the print heads, it should help.

if you soak a cartridge in water, you will end up with a soggy cartridge.  don't do it.\n\nhowever, you can try to tap the printhead ON top of a small amout of warm distilled water it may break up the ink that has gathered on top of the printhead.\n\nyou may leave the cartridge sit on top of a damp paper towel for a while, but make sure the entire printhead is touching the dampness of the paper towel to avoid it drying out further.\n\none other thing you can try is to hold the printhead over top of steam (like out of a tea kettle) for a few seconds until you see the ink begin to flow.  be very careful when doing this, as you could very easily melt the printhead and it will definitely be ruined.  i only use this as a last resort.\n\ndell was started by HP, and they did nothing but cause hp problems, and most of their customers are not happy with the printers and are returning to HP.\n\nmy recommendation is to just buy a new cartridge and learn not to let it sit unused for so long.\n\ngood luck

Well, you can buy a new exteral CD drive, or just switch out your CD drive.\n\nBUT! \nFortunately, most if not all drivers can be found in the internet.\n\nGo to google and type in the name of the printer followed by driver.\n(Ex. Canon i250 Driver)\nYou should find what you're looking for.\nIf you need help then email me and I'll help you search for it.

Try doing repetative cleanings with the software...sometimes twenty times.\nyou could try to clean the printhead with alcohol....if it built in to the printer...take alcohol soaked paper towel and lay inside to run printhead over.\nIf that don't work then you may have a bad printhead.\n\nWhich most printers are disposable nowadays.

Sounds to me as if your printer head needs cleaning..or you have damaged the head by using compatable ink cartridges.

I think that is an ink jet, so it may just need new cartridges, or replacing the ink in the old ones. If the printer has been sitting a long time, you may be able to use the extreme clean section of the head cleaning program. Another possibility is that the FORM FEED button is being held down. Of course, it could need a new control board, which would have the same effect. If you have the original disk, there should be a diagnostic program on it, or you can download it from the HP website, and that may be able to help you resolve this issue.

perform a 'cleaning' cycle.  Regardless of the cause, some jets are clogged.  too many 'cleaning' cycles, and it will exhaust the ink cartridge....so beware !

Make sure your cartridges are installed correctly.\n\nWhen they are run an alignment.

Run through the cleaning process in maintenance. If this doesn't work & inks do not need replacing, you may have a problem with your print head. I had to change the print head in my printer when it started printing badly. It was just worn out.

Run a print head cleaning. Especially if your printer sits for a while in between uses.  A print head cleaning will flush out any dried ink and debris that could be the problem.     When the print head cleaning is done you will get a diagnostic page.  If all seems well print keep printing.   If there is any fading, streaking or odd tones to any colours replace the cartridge.

This issue occurs due to the low ink cartridge , empty or corrupted printer driver software . Please Align or clean the cartridge contacts. If the issue persist, UnInstall and reinstall printer driver software .

Well well i am sorry to inform you that i have asked this question before and tried all the answers -and i have pulled the right hand side panell off and totaly swabbed out the waste ink tank which is under thecartridge carrier at the extreme right hand side,,where it does its mixing.and its hardly a tank at all,its a tiny little tray with a bit of foam to absorb the ink.i used a sray on alcohol solution and cleaned it thoroughly,but the darn thing still kept saying waste ink near full?i threw it in the bin about an hour ago,as i rang cannon and the cost just to look at it was greater than a new one.I did get a bit longer out of it by reset button-but not longat all.I have just loaded an epson stylus cx3700 its better than my cannon imagecass mpc190 was and cost me 79 dollars here in australia.--check my q&a if you  want to see my results but i am afraid its hopeless.

I have a canon and this is what works for me:  after fixing the problem (adding paper or changing cartridge), Press the "stop" button.  I know it sounds dumb, but that's the way mine works.\n\nDon't forget to give me 10 points for best answer if this works for you!

Most likely the printers internal equipment is dirty, or clogged.\n\n1) Right-click on your Epson Stylus icon, and go to "Properties"\n\n2) Find the tab for the "Printing Defaults" link\n\n3) Click on the "Utility" tab\n\n4) Perform the following procedures:\n\n * Nozzle Check"\n * Head Cleaning\n * Print Head Alignment\n\n-----------------------------------------------------\n\nIf for some reason these steps do not work, it could be that the ink has dried out and the ink cartridge needs to be replaced.\n\nHope this helps.
