That printer is basically the same as the BubbleJet 4100. Apparently something has gone wonky with the color printhead. Check the contacts on it. You can even take the ink cartridges out of the printhead then wash it (the printhead only) with plain, cold, tap water. Dry it with a paper towel and blot the bottom on a paper towel. You can also gently wipe built up ink crud off the bottom too. Put it all back in the printer and try running a cleaning cycle. If it still doesn't recognize the color then you'll have to get a new color printhead. I don't think it's available without buying new ink cartridges. Get them for the BubbleJet, not the StyleWriter. You'll save some $$$. Probably can't find them specifically for the SW anyway these days. They're the exact same parts anyway! ===== http://www.junkscience.com "All the Junk that's fit to Debunk!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
