Ink leak with HP 950C and 970Cxi

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

Hi all,

I have 2 Printers at work: HP 950C and a 970Cxi. Both started leaking
black ink out of a sudden. This happened on two different occasions.
The printers weren't standing next to each other. The leak occurred
while both printers were "resting" meaning not while printing
something. Both printers use only original HP cartridges. The printers
weren't tempered with prior to this incident - no one tried to open
them, disassemble them, rock them or tilt them etc. The whole area
under the ink cartridges if full of ink, which flowed rather fast to
the whole bottom of the printer (since no one noticed this internal
leak until ink actually spilled out of the printer).

Does anyone know anything about this? I looked at the ink cartridges
and it look rather naïve (no broken parts, no access ink on the head's
area…)

I will be thank full for every answer, Dekers
