Hi all. On my HP 450c (bought from Noah after he finished the ark) everything was working well until I put new cartridges in.
After completing the starting cycle, Media and Data orange leds are steady on. Pressing Cancel they go off and the Cartridge led start blinking. The machine go on strike.
Then, with or without cartridges, Cartridge orange led keeps blinking. Ready led is off.
When I seat any cartridge in, no answer from the ready led. As I read in the handbook, it should blink 3 times.
The red light reading the white mark on the roll is working well, the roll set itself in the due position.
I cleaned contacts, changed magenta with cyan and so on. Cartridge led is still blinking, Ready led still off. Machine refuse to go on.
To me there is something at the end of starting cycle preventing the machine getting ready and reading the cartridges.
It worked well until I changed the black one, an old one, with that prehistoric mark looking half empty, but new, and still in its HP box when arrived. Don't think any problem there.
Thanks a lot for experienced advice.
