66473 2002-07-29 08:33:00 When I start my up DeskJet 400 it goes thru it's intitial thumping/banging/whirring start up process but then turns itself off before completing the process. Cables seem OK and I've connected it to a different power point with no difference.
I've just moved it from Otago to Canterbury. Perhaps it's homesick?

66474 2002-07-29 08:56:00 Is the carriage assembly free to taverse, if it is jammed it may be sensing that and shutting down for protection. Its usually OK to manually slide the cartridge assemble when the power is off.

On the other hand, it may not be used to being in the superior environment and is denying its own existence.....

66475 2002-07-29 10:32:00 Wow Godfather, you got it in one!
I gave the carriage a slide and just for luck told the printer I'd take it to Carisbrook at least once a year and now it's a happy wee DeskJet again. Thank you

66476 2002-07-29 10:52:00 How are you so sure it wouldn't prefer to back the mighty successful Crusaders at the "new" Jade Stadium? ;-) Susan B (19)
66477 2002-07-29 21:41:00 Well if it wants to go there, it's going by itself!
(Although if it behaves I might take it along when Otago comes to town in October)

Look out for a person sitting next to an inkjet, giving it chips and coke...

66479 2002-07-30 08:17:00 Hey! It's a 'Southern Man' printer...it'll have a mince pie and a Speights. (Gotta be cheaper than it's usual consumables). oggy (1250)
66480 2002-07-30 08:40:00 I thought Speights was inkjet consumables.... godfather (25)
66481 2002-07-30 08:53:00 Many years ago when I was working on the Wanganella moored in Deep Cove Speights was all there was, It was definitely "Consumable". It was the "Original" Southern Speights, thick & chewy, not like todays maidens water!!!! Once a boozer Poppa John :D :D :D hic Poppa John (284)
66482 2002-07-30 10:42:00 Now there's a thought. Speights flavoured printer ink! Or would ink coloured Speights be more marketable? Refill your printer cartridge then refill yourself. Or you could go the other way and have a printer cartridge that looks like a can of Speights. Just the thing for computer geek scarfies. Doesn't matter to me. I can't stand the stuff!
Have we gotten off the subject here?
