hp PSC 1410V ALL IN ONE PRINTER

I have this printer which I changed the ink cartridge in it. The problem I am having now is everytime I turn the printer on it prints a test page and then 5 to 10 minutes later the doc I want to print comes out fine. How do I stop this test page from printing every time I turn the printer on please so the doc I want to print comes out when doc is spooled to queue, please?

I appreciate any help.

 

Hi sportsaholic,

Check that you don't have to run a "new cartridge installed" setup like doing a print head calibration.

You might think it is a matter of taking out the old one and putting in a new one, but "you MUST follow procedures" . Run through the cartridge changing procedure exactly as they specify (or you will be breaking the rules )

if you uninstall / reinstall drivers for this...

Hi

a little note on this all-in-one (on Win98, not sure about other OS**)

if you uninstall the drivers for this device, it breaks Outlook Express; unfortunately it also nobbles Add/Remove Programs> "Mend Internet Explorer "

the reason for this is that the file ATL.DLL gets uninstalled incorrectly (ie not the file MSOE.DLL which the Outlook Express error message leads one to think is the problem)

[SIZE= "1"]**I suspect that the ANSI-based Windowses (95/98/ME) will be affected, and that it's less likely that unicode-based Windows versions would be affected.[/SIZE]

let's hope that Matt's fix gets you going without recourse to any uninstalling / reinstalling


best wishes, HJ
