Hi Jeff and all, As far as I know, all inkjet printers use cartridges that communicate electronically with the printer. Some new cartridges have bad circuitry and need to be replaced. Sometimes it is the mainboard in the printer that is no longer fully function. With the price of inkjets being so low, it usually(/always) too expensive to replace the mainboard versus buying a new printer (which occasionally have bad mainboards).
