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 .

online.. thru your comp.. start the "Status Monitor" ..\n.. it sits someplace in "Start" (if on Windows)\n\nOr simply go to the printer name in "Printers" folder & right click-> go to properties- then all thse tabs come up for "Head cleaning" "Nozzle Check" etc...\n\nThere.. a tab has status monitor...\n\nHowever, thru experience using my old Epson Stylus 1200\nI have come to know that its a bit waste as the Nozzle Check & Head Cleaning both deplete the bloody ink resorviors..\n\nI now, manually take them out \n[HIGHLY AVIODABLE AND WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THOU]\nto get a feeling as to how much is there which I can get since so many years..\nGive it a good shake & I put 'em back...\n\nThough unlike HP, Epson cartridge head doesn't get replaced each time, so its a big headache to try remove cartridge\n(one risks damaging internals as ink might pour out of gaping hole in cartridge- there is a certain trick jerky movement to get it out)\n\nPlus, lastly, the damn things sort of dry out even if printer left unused for under a month & so software may still detect a semi full thing as, one needing replacement

Restart your computer with your printer already on. If that doesn't work, re-install your printer drivers, be sure to follow the directions exactly.

Maybe the circuitry is fried.  Reinstall the printer driver, make sure none of the plastic strips are still in the printer cartridge and then reboot your computer.

Go into your control panel and click on printers...check to make sure that your default printer isn't "Print to a Fax File"...the default is the one with the check mark on it. If your printer isn't the one checked...right click it and select "Use as Default" That should fix it :)

It isn't your low ink causing a paper jam. First make sure your paper isn't dog eared. That will cause jams. Next open your printer doors front & back & find your rubber paper rollers. Look for debris of any kind. Perhaps an old address sticker that got hung up - anything. Next get a bottle of alcohol & swab the rollers with it. Hopefully one of these actions will solve your problem.\n\nGood luck.

Your printer has a memory on it.   The printer remembers the last three cartridges that have been installed, and thus is remembering your cartridge as being empty.\n\nIf you have some empties kicking around or know somebody that does, just install and remove them in sequence with your refilled cartridge being the fourth and final.  \n\nHopefully that will clear it up.  \n\nHowever if you are getting a blinking light and a "please check cartridge" warning then unfortunately the cartridge is done.  The electronics have failed and there is nothing left to do except replace the cartridge.

Here are some things to try:\n\n1. Go through and manually configure your print options, ensuring that none of them are set to exclusively red print.\n2. Remove the red ink cartridge.

Sounds to me that you should UNINSTALL the software that you installed and TRY again.   A disk came with that printer, so follow the instructions carefully.  \n\nIt probably wants you to INSTALL the software first, then connect the printer.  \n\nIf the problem persists, you might want to uninstall your DELL printer software first.

heh, that is kind of funny.  You have a tracking problem.  it will require service to fix it.  If it still prints put up with it until it is time to replace the cartridges, then replace the printer.   For the Price of a new set of Dell cartridges you can get a nice little HP printer.

Not an easy question to answer.You have not said what is wrong with it. It could be anything ?  \nWill it print OK?    Have you any lights flashing ?  Will it print a test page ok?   Have you an empty ink cartridge ?\nSomeone might be able to answer your question if you give us more details

Try cleaning the print heads.  You can usually do this by using the printer software that came with your computer.

The Dell A940 is actually a Lexmark printer and I hate to say this, rubbish. Full uninstall and the then reinstall might do it. \n\nThis happens on Lexmark printers all the time, so much so they issued a cleanup tool to download. Unfortunately as it is Dell branded no such tool is available.\n\nOn to the dell support line you go.... If you are lucky, you will still be alive by the time they reply!!!

Go into your printers program and try cleaning the print heads.\nSometimes they get so dirty that the ink cartridge cannot work properly.

If you're running low on colour ink that should be the reason, if not. Maybe the ink carton you purchased isn't compatible [if that is the right word for the situation] with it.\n\nI'd try another brand to see if it works better.
