My Officejet 8000 is getting a false Magenta out of ink error that's preventing it from printing.

Even after putting a new Magenta cartridge in it still gets a false out of ink error for that cartridge.

There are several cases where color ink would be used even if you are printing mostly black and white:
Some ink is used to keep the printheads from clogging as they are waved around in the air while printing black.
Color ink is typically used for printing graphics unless "Print in Grayscale" and "Black ink only" are selected.  The color drops are much smaller and give better print for graphics.
Ink is used from all colors when a new color cartridge is installed to remove air from the supply tubes.
Black ink is not used to print on photo paper.  The pigmented black ink is not compatible with photo paper, color ink will be used even when printing B&W on photo paper.

  • Getting an error that's preventing my from watching Quicktime format videos

    I'm getting the following message:

    So far I haven't seen anything that looks like I could ask for help from someone so I came here after a few days of unsuccessful attempts to completely uninstall the program as to get rid of the message. When I go to uninstall the Quicktime Player the Install Wizard partially loads but suddenly stops for reasons unknown to me. Right now the only solution I can see is entering the Run menu and manually removing all QuickTime Player data but I don't remember the exact command to do so. If anyone can point me to some support or suggest other solutions I'd be quite grateful.

  • Office Pro 8000: Can't Print/Out of Ink Error even after installing new cartridge.

    When I tried to use my printer a few days ago, I received a "Can't Print: Out of Ink" error message concerning the magenta cartridge.  I had used the printer a few days before that, and had not received a low ink warning.  It seemed suspicious to me that I would have received an empty cartridge error message without first receiving a low cartridge warning.  The yellow and cyan cartridges read 70% full - all 3 were original cartridges.
    I purchased a new 940XL magenta cartridge and installed it per instructions.  Now I am getting a message that the new 940XL cartridge is empty.  I can shake the old 940 cartridge and hear liquid inside.  Obviously, the new cartridge is also full.  I've tried cycling power, reinstalling the software, etc, with no change in status.  If I swap back and forth between the old 940 and new 940XL cartridge, they are properly identified by type on my screen as the 940 or 940XL.  Due to the way the problem has presented itself, I don't believe it is a cartridge issue.
    Of course, problem first arouse on May 8th, and my warrantee expired April 26th.  Any suggestions?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I've solved my own problem, which was clearly a factory assembly defect.  I looked inside my printer with a flashlight in the area where the ink cartridges are installed, and found magenta ink sprayed inside the printer.  I disassembled the printer, and found that the magenta line had been damaged during assembly.  There are four ink tubes which exit from behind the ink cartridges, then make a U turn back toward the front of the printer.  Just after the U turn, they make another bend up-wards.  It is at this point that I found the damaged magenta line, directly above a screw on the right-hand side of the ink cartridge housing.  The lines are in a very narrow passage, and are held in place by several keepers molded out of plastic.  It appears that the lines were put in place in the keepers, then the screw inserted from above.  As I said, it is a very tight passage, and it would be very easy to damage the ink line at that point if the lines weren't carefully held back to insert the screw during assembly.
    To solve the problem, I removed approximately 1/4 inch of damaged magenta ink line.  I carefully cut the line with a sharp razor, to prevent collapsing the line or causing burrs to the tubing.  I then placed about 3/4" of self-sealing heat shrink tubing over one end of the ink line.  Next I spliced the line with a small piece of stiff plastic tubing from the handle of a cotton swab, which was a perfect, snug fit over the ink line.  Being careful not to collapse the ink tube or cause further damage, I gently twisted the ink line back and forth until the ends were butted up inside the cotton swab splice.  I then positioned the heat-shrink tubing over the splice, and shrunk it with a hair dryer.  The heat-shrink tubing I used has hot-melt glue applied to the inside, which further aided in making a leak-proof splice.  Again, there is not a lot of room, so the splice had to be kept small.
    I reassembled the printer, reinstalled the ink cartridges, and powered up the printer.  After the normal, long start-up delay, I printed several full-color test sheets, and all was fine.  The magenta cartridge that I had installed previously now shows that it is full, and the remaining cartridges also read the levels that they had prior to disassembly.

  • OfficeJet 7610 Ink Cartridges out of ink error can't be correct

    I purchased an OfficeJet 7610 a few months ago. I have barely used the color ink. Recently I received a low ink error message for the colors. That made no sense to me, but then I realized that these are just "estimated" ink levels. I read that I will still be able to print until the cartridges have run out of ink. However, not long after that I received a message that the magenta needed to be replaced. This made no sense since I hadn't used it. Then I replaced it anyway and received errors right away for the Cyan and Yellow cartridges that they needed to be replaced too. When I clicked to ignore the yellow cartridge error message, it would no longer even let me print in black ink.
    I am positive that these color cartridges that came with the printer were not out of ink. Yet, the printer forced me to replace them. I also am confused because from what I read in the help center, I should be able to continue to print in black ink only even if the color cartridge is saying it needs to be replaced. However, with the yellow one, that was not the case.

  • I think I have the latest Firefox version, but keep getting messages about updating it. 1 says something is preventing Firefox from updating securely; another says something is trying to trick Firefox into accepting an unsecure update. What's going on?

    The 1st message goes on to say, "Please make sure that you have the latest version of Firefox from http://www.firefox.com." Assuming 4.0.1 is the latest version, it seems this is a bogus message and I haven't clicked on the link.
    The 2nd message goes on to say something like, "if this continues [the attempt to trick Firefox into accepting an unsecure update], contact your network administrator."
    I started getting the messages on all 4 of our PC's (2 desktops running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, 1 running XP 32-bit, & a laptop running Vista Home Basic 64-bit) after updating to Firefox 4.0 on them. I manually updated to 4.0.1 on all thinking that would stop the messages, but it hasn't.
    I loaded & ran free versions of McAfee Stinger, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and Super Anti-Spyware programs on all our PCs; each program found & repaired some infected files on each computer, but the messages continue on all.
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Apparently this occurs when Firefox has problems with security certificates. There have been a few questions about this. I will try to get advice about this.
    Apparently you are using Internet Explorer 9 (From your system details). Do you have Google Updater plugin installed on Firefox ?
    (That been implicated in this sort of problem by one poster, and some users with the problem do have Google Updater, but some do not)

  • My Itunes library deleted all my music except two of the songs I bought from the store. They're all still on my phone, but I can't seem to be able to move them all back. I can get the music back another way, but I want to prevent it from happening again.

    I'm not sure why it deleted everything. I had rearranged and cleaned up my desktop earlier, but I know for a fact I didn't delete anything. Now, I go onto my Itunes and only two songs I bought off Itunes are there. I had more that I bought, but even the ones I took off my CDs aren't there anymore. I had over four hundred songs and they're all gone. I can put all the music back on because I have it saved elsewhere, but I want to prevent this from happening again. Does anyone know what might have happened? I really want to keep using Itunes, but its becoming more of a hassle than anything.

  • When will we get a fix for the poor camera quality that's a result from the ios 7 update??

    Since the update to ios 7, the camera picture/video quality are very poor and the flash has become hit/miss when it actually works.

    My iPhone 5 camera continues to work well after the update to iOS 7. So this doesn't appear to be a common problem? First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    You might also quit the Camera app then reset the phone.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.
    If that doesn't help Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Getting a ref cursor out of a procedure

    Hello,
    I am having some issues getting the ref cursor out of this procedure that returns a ref cursor when given inputs.
    I have included the code below and made bold the call to the package and procedure where the requested function lies. I put c2 in the first parameter because that is the out and is defined first in the procedure. Am I going about this the wrong way? I am mainly a .NET developer and am still learning the syntax of PL/SQL.
    Thanks!

    You should probably post the code of PKG_DTEST.GET_CHILDREN as well as the error you are getting. It's hard to troubleshoot without knowing all the parts and pieces.
    Additionally, I see that you are using a nested FOR loop to process your data. You should rethink this. The best way to process data in Oracle is to compact it all into a single SQL statement if possible. If you are having trouble doing this please post the following and we can help.
    1. Oracle version (SELECT * FROM V$VERSION)
    2. Sample data in the form of CREATE / INSERT statements.
    3. Expected output
    4. Explanation of expected output (A.K.A. "business logic")
    5. Use \ tags for #2 and #3.

  • Bazaar 'specified property not found' error that I cannot get around - LV 6i

    Hiya folks,
    I'm unfortunately stuck with making enhancements to a dinosaur application in LV 6i and am running into a strange issue I can't wrap my head around.
    I have a VI that takes as input a single reference to an array of strict-type clusters.  I would like to access the control references of each control in each element of that array.  Using the standard (or what I believe to be the standard) VI server approach to breaking this down, I am able to get down to a single element of the array, cast it to a strict-type cluster reference, finally exposing an array of control references via a property node (see the attached image).  This is all fine and dandy until I attempt to access that array of control references.  So, referring to the image, the upper thread yields no error in "error out", however the scenario in the lower thread does.
    If I attempt to access ANY other property in that final property node that has nothing to do with references, then everything works great.
    Anybody have any ideas?  Suggestions? Is the fact that these clusters are strict type def that's preventing me from moving forward (the only scenario I have not tested as of yet)?

    My Nugget on Exploiting Control references should be useful. The attached VIs will too new for you to use but I beilve I posted screen shots of everything. The one limitaion that I can warn you about that will prevent you from duplicating those techniques in LV 6i is how I handled Clusters of arrays, of clusters or arrays.... etc. LV 8 or there-abouts added the ability to do complex recursive calls (A cals B that calls A...) But you shouldbe able to code around that detail or ignore it completely if your data structure will never be that complex. Here is a preview of what you will find in that Nugget.
