| Make sure the yellow cartridge is seated properly, and that there is nothing broken inside due to the paper jam.

| Does it use the Type 2 Ink? If so, take the cartridge out, use a little rubbing alcohol and gently rub the copper head. Be absolutely certain that the alcohol is dry before putting the cartridge back in the computer. |

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | I don't know if its a type 2 ink but I use HP56, HP57, HP58, and HP59 cartridges. They do have copper on them. I can try that tonight and see if that works! Thanks! |

| Brenda ,go into your printer properties and align your print catridges. |

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Ok the alcohol didn't work and neither did alignment. I just don't get it? Maybe because the ink is "compatible" ink??? |

| Something similar happened to me with a canon printer I had. First it was one color then the other. It always happened after I put a new cartridge in. They said the jets were clogged or something and that it would cost almost as much to fix it as getting a new printer, so we got a new HP. The reason it happens, I think they said, is that you have to turn your printer on and off frequently (like daily) and we tended to leave ours on. When you turn it back on it automatically cleans out those heads, so it doesn't have time to harden and clog. At least that's how I understood it. Actually I have a ton of ink for a canon if anyone is interested...

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | that's SO frustrating - I had it happen to me with a couple of printers back when I was doing a ton of printing from the home - which is why I always bought at COMP USA cause they had a 2 year tap plan where you could 'trade up' - I went thru about 5 printers in the last 8 years - It could be the printer 'head' is clogged - Sometimes doing what Cindy (chattiesmom) said will work - other times you have to purchase a new printer head for the printer - that's the little unit that the ink sits in - That can run a bit of money but WILL work - |
