I have an old office deskjet 1220c - the led's keep blinking & it won't grab the paper - help

I am trying to set up an old HP Deskjet 1220C and the LED's are blinking, saying there is a paper jam, but there is no paper jam.  I have made sure that the back cover is locked, cleaned all the rollers, etc, but it still won't stop blinking.  Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks!

The page here may help with the paper feed issues.  Also open the lid with the power on and make sure the carriage moves to the "smiley face" position, look at the icons on the upper back portion of the printer as shown here.

    Yes.  You can choose to have it repaired by Apple or a 3rd party repair company.  Here are Apple's repair qutoes.

    If you are sure that your password is correct try restarting your router by removing power to it for 30 seconds and restarting. On your iPod go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings. Now try to connect.

  • I have an old airport express, but the software on my computer does not accept it. I need to downgrade the software, but the older software will not install.

    I have a old G4, I want to give to my son. It does not have a wireless card and because his room is on the second floor it is impossible to connect with a wire.
    I wish to add an airport express to my airport extreme network and connect the computer and the airport express together with a cable. Is this possible?
    second question:
    software does not install.
      I do have a network with a airport extreme and want to add the old airport express to it. I want to do this with airport software, however the software tells me the airport express is to old and i need to reinstall older software 5.6 to be precise. However installing fails, so I thought i just remove the airport software, but osx does not allow me to do that.

    i managed to install the older airport utility and am trying to set up a connection with an existing network, but airport utility cannot find the airport extreme AFTER it starts up again. I then went and again restored it to its factory settings and did the whole procedure again with airport utility, but again after utility tells the airport express to restart it does not come back.

  • I have an old itunes account and the music won't play on my new account

    I have an old itunes account that I downloaded on my computer about 100 songs. I since then have started a new account and now my old music will not play at all and it says that my old itunes account has been locked out by itunes. What gives? I have over $100 worth of music I cannot access on my own computer?!
    PLEASE HELP!!!

    I since then have started a new account
    Why? Just update the info for your old account and continue to use that.
    When you create new accounts, it's highly probable you will run into problems (as you can see).
    it says that my old itunes account has been locked out by iTunes.
    More likely it says that your iTunes account has been locked for security reasons and that you need to contact the iTunes store to unlock it.
    Contact the iTunes store -> http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html?form=account&topic=iTunes%20Sto re%20Account%20and%20Billing&subtopic=Account%20SecurityiTunes Store Customer Service

  • Does anyone have a PowerShell script which change the paper source on a Canon Image Runner Advance?

    I came across this Powershell script on the web, which does a good job of printing out PDFs:
    Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Users\Test\Documents\Listing.pdf” –Verb Print -PassThru | %{sleep 10;$_} | kill
    Start-Process -FilePath “C:\Users\Test\Documents\Scan0001.pdf” –Verb Print -PassThru | %{sleep 10;$_} | kill
    Start-Process -FilePath “C:\Users\Test\Documents\Scan0004.pdf” –Verb Print -PassThru | %{sleep 10;$_} | kill
    See: http://gregcaporale.wordpress.com/2012/01/18/powershell-to-print-files-automatically/ 
    What I want to know is, does someone know how to write a Powershell script so that before printing out each PDF, a tab will be pulled from a separate paper source tray.  I need the Powershell script to
    1. Set the paper source to tray 4 where the tabs are.
    2. Print a one page PDF which just reads "Tab 1" or whatever, on the tab itself
    3. Set the paper source to ray 1 where letter sized paper is.
    4. Print a PDF of the document to go behind tab 1.
    . . . and then repeat.
      I am working with a Canon Image Runner Advance copier/printer into which tabs can be loaded. It includes an insert sheets setting in the properties, which allows a user to specify the pages where a tab or slip sheet should go.  But I don't want to deal with creating a very large PDF, and then identifying all of the pages where an insert should occur.

  • Firefox won't update - tho I have OSX 10.5.8 it keeps saying I have too old an OS. The auto-update for Firefox is greyed out. How can I update?

    I have a Mac Powerbook G4, running OS X 10.5.8. I'm getting messages from Google that Firefox is an old version and needs updating - so I went to the Firefox website and the message said that "Unfortunately the latest version of Firefox isn't compatible with your computer's operating system. Learn more." When I click Learn More, it says that Firefox only works with OS X 10.5 and 10.6...The auto-update box for Firefox is greyed out and un-clickable in Firefox preferences, there's no manual download that I can find - how can I make Firefox recognize my OS and allow me to upgrade? Many thanks.

    PPC Macs aren't compatible with Firefox 4.0 and later versions.
    For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4 / 5 / 6, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ <br />

    Or use Firefox 3.6.22. <br />

  • Mac Mail missing all of my old e-mails on the server - Help!

    Hi,
    I recently got a Macbook Air about a month ago and all of my old e-mails on my server were there (I have over 2,000.)
    My HD became too full and crashed - I Just got it back today (all of my data is on my external hard drive.) I just tried to setup my e-mail again and all of my old e-mails are missing ..... it only imported by 600 e-mails from January 2nd - thru today..
    Where are all of my e-mails? Why aren't they importing? Help! I have very important content and they are still on the server....but not importing.
    Thank You!

    What settings did you change, what were the changes, have you visited www.icloud.com to see what mail is actually there? and do you have a backup?

  • FIREFOX HANGING: I still have problems with Firefox hanging, in the middle of operations (ie typing an email), or switching tabs. Have tried all suggested remedies in the Firefox help section.

    I have updated all plug-ins, cleared download history, deleted sessionstore files but this still happens regularly - every few minutes.

    I think that I have found a solution: [ha ha ha ha ha h a]
    I am running XP SP3
    1 - uninstall Firefox - whatever version you have
    2 - search for ANY file related to 'Mozilla' that is left behind BECAUSE much crap is left & DELETE it
    3 - then search & DELETE every 'Mozilla' entry in the registry - DELETE THEM
    4 - then reinstall the latest VSN without any add-ons or plug-ins - only install them when they are asked for - like Flasplayer etc
    seems to have worked for me
