Practice makes perfect
If it ain't broke, don't fix it
A picture is worth a thousand words
If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself
There's a saying which comes to mind....
You Payz me now, or you Payz me later.
I wonder how many pieces of equipment will be totally and completely screwed up because of this.
i did a lot of HP Brother repairs due to "Mr Fix-It" trying to repair them... cost them WAY ore than should have it they brought it to me first.Originally Posted by monarke4
now re-filling ink carts ( toner too ) caused TONS of issues.. along with the cheep China knock offs.
Refilling cartridges keeps service busy and customers happy as long there are cheap methods to fix them printers
Defects are simple, our mind is complicated
Lots of fun with a few of them. Worst ones were the ones that owned portable typewriters. Ever seen a fried main board because some "repairman" sprayed the hell out of a typewriter with wd-40 because it works when they sprayed it on the old IBM selectrics?
There used to actually be a user on this website that always bragged how much he saved by buying his own ink and refilling the ink cartridges for his printers. Claimed he dropped the priced to less tan a tenth of a cent to print versus three cents a page using the manufacturer new ink cartridges. BTW the actual numbers he claimed are different than the ones I used only because it has been years since I have seen one of the posts by him and just used those numbers as an example.
NO ONE took that guy seriously at all, it was obvious he was full of used color toner, if you catch my drift!!!
Oh yes I remember that he was called out regularly over his claimed savings. And there may have been a few comments that he needed to stop drinking the ink too.
You must be referring to the 'ol abb1. Kind of put a new light on the term "lunatic".
NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING
I especially liked his explanation for the stupid username: apparently it took him dozens of tries to get the membership software to work. He got so frustrated he just started entering random characters. That's how I solve technical issues. I enter random characters.

If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
