A quick place to check for a possible solution is www.fixyourownprinter.com Brad Loomis San Miguel, CA -----Original Message----- I have a Canon BJC-600 printer (yes, it's an old one but I have loads of ink that I'd like to use before I give up on it). At power up the lights go on normal as usual, no beeps. When asked to print the print heads move exactly as if it is printing but no ink gets to the paper. The cartridges are not empty, and the print head bottom looks normal. When I do a reset with the power plug and three buttons it works and prints. It will not print after the power is turned off and back on. ech.com Do you want to signoff PCBUILD or just change to Digest mode - visit our web site: http://freepctech.com/pcbuild.shtml
