| 274529 | 2004-09-22 01:30:00 | Hi, my printer prints but only comes out blank. There is plenty of ink in it but not coming out on the paper! | Cassarn (6181) | ||
| 274530 | 2004-09-22 01:33:00 | Welcome to PressF1! What make and model of printer is it? Most inkjet printers have an option of doing a head clean. Have you tried this? If not do it about 6 times then try printing again. |

| 274534 | 2004-09-22 02:50:00 | This might sound silly but do you have a dehumidifier operating in the same room as the printer. These are good at sucking the inkjet cartridge dry | John Budd (5943) | ||
