HP 560C

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

My HP 560C works fine except when I first start it up it goes through some
kind
of start-up routine and then, as it places the ink cartridges back into
their resting position, it emits a "crunch" sound and all the lights on the
control panel blink. If I turn it off and back on it will go through the
start-up routine, place the ink cartridges back into the resting position,
and be ready to go. I can then print successfully. Any ideas?

Mine used to do that after I'd had it for several years, I don't think
I ever fixed it but it carried on working in that state for a long
time. The "crunch" sound is the toothed rubber drive belt slipping I
think.

Where are you by the way, I have a twin pack colour cartridge which
I'll post to you for free if you're in the UK. It's past its sell by
date but is proably OK still.
