Printer Problems

Hi quita88! I got the cartridge from Walmart so I picked it out myself. I don't know how many times I kept trying to reinstall it but I just kept having the same problems. I did the realignment of the cartridge, too. I got the right one for my printer. I exchanged it today and the newer one is working better. Evidently, the first one was a faulty cartridge. Kathy.

I guess you've heard that saying, "Just about everything in my house is a Walmart special!"Lol. That's pretty true of me! We have a Walmart supercenter here in Jasper and it's probably less than 5 minutes from where I live. It might be 5 minutes. I don't know for sure but it's not that far. I actually hate going there because it's always so crowded. I just go when I have to and when I feel like it. You can find just about anything and everything there, though. Most of their prices are not that high, either. That's where I got my monitor, as a matter of fact. Kathy.

I don't buy cartridges at Wal mart anymore. I take my old one to Staples and find a clerk who is supposed to know what they are doing. I've not had any troubles since I started going to staples. Besides, check their prices, staples is usually cheaper. Good you got it going tho !

I was very mad too for it was wrapped right and every thing but they did give me another one!

My printer is working a lot better now. My computer has been infected with some viruses, too, and that was part of the problem. I recently got an antivirus program and that really has helped. The virus program is Regcare (I think that's the name of it). I bet it was aggravating to buy an ink cartridge and bring it home and find out there's no cartridge in it! Thank you for responding. Kathy.

My printer is a Dell V305. I got that cartridge from Walmart and it turns out that it must have been faulty because I exchanged it yesterday. The new one is doing a lot better. Thank you for responding and happy mylotting. Kathy.

I've done this several times tonight and I keep having the same problem. I have a feeling that I have a faulty new cartridge and I'm going to take it back tomorrow. I just got the black cartridge not too long ago and it didn't cause me any problems. How do I check to see if the print head is blocked or faulty? I only have two cartridges in this printer, btw. I downloaded the link and I found out that I have over 600 viruses on this computer! I've been having problems getting my printer to communicate with my computer and I feel like all these viruses might be what's causing the problem. I have at&t security suite but it doesn't ever find any problems. I scan for viruses as well as spyware everyday, using at&t. It has found a few spyware and it always quarantines those. I'm purchasing the software from the link you provided and I'm hoping it will work with a Dell computer because that's what I have. I didn't see anything mentioned about a Dell Computer. Thank you for your help and welcome to mylot. Kathy.

No, it still won't print at all, I'm sorry to say. I tried the suggestion that redzventure said for me to try several times tonight and it still won't print. Even though I have installed the color cartridge, it still keeps telling em to install the color cartridge. I think I might have a faulty cartridge and I'm going to take it back tomorrow. I have been having trouble getting my printer to communicate with my computer here lately and I do have a lot of viruses on here. I'm purchasing the software from the link he gave me above and I'm hoping it will work. I contacted Dell (that's the kind of computer I have) about this and they wanted to charge me $69.00 to remove the viruses and I don't have that kind of money! Well, they said $69.00 was the minimum payment. Welcome to mylot, btw. Kathy.
