Repair of a HP 970CSE inkjet printer

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Roger
I have two HP970 and I have cleaned both of them
It isn't a difficult job and I do it by removing the cover and
placing the side of the unit were the cartridges rest, under the water
tap. Avoid the motors and the pc board ... ... but I don't think that
is your problem . Your problem must be on the pins that make contact
with the cartridge. It is not uncommon.
It has been reported before and there is un application note on the
subject on the HP site but you don't need it Just use a piece of
cloth and rubbing alcohol.

It could be that the printer is remembering a past fault condition. Try a
hardware reset. Pull out the cartridges, paper and USB/parallel lead.
Disconnect the power lead and wait a few minutes before putting everything back.
