I have an HP PSC 1315 printer which suddenly registered a "check print cartridge" error on its panel board. The exact board lights are:
Indicator Light Status
On/Resume Light is on (green) and steady
Check Print Cartridge Light is on (orange) and blinking
Copies Light is on (green) and steady but with a big "E" (for error)
Size Light is on (green) and steady
Paper Type Light is on (green) and steady
I have tried cleaning the cartridge contact points but wala effect. Funny thing is when I turn on the printer, it prints a test page perfectly (so there is ink and the printer can print properly). However I cannot proceed from there because when I try to print anything from the computer, the printer does not respond, I guess because it is in an error condition. If I put in the old cartridge, the error condition is gone. If I try to print with the old cartridge, the printer seems to respond well and goes through the motion of printing but siempre wala output kay wala man ink. Does this confirm that the cartridge is defective? Just want to make sure before I invest in a new ink cartridge unya basin masayang. Salamat daan mga responders.
