Computer Printers

"Paper tray is empty" means the censor to the paper tray may need refilling or removing some paper and the printer is relaying this information backto the computer to let you know. Or there may be a fault with the printer and it needs fixing.

It can be refilled. The only problem is that it will stay empty. buy 28a and 29a cartridges that can be refilled

Most old printers use a parallel (LPT) interface. Many new computers are not equipped with parallel ports, as it is seen by many as an obsolete interface.

However, it is possible to hook a parallel printer up via USB by using a USB to parallel cable. These range in price from $10 to $30 and can be found at most electronic stores. I will include a few links below where you can buy them online.

I'm not sure if you could classify it as a conductor or and insulator.

What happens is the laser imparts an electrical charge to the paper where it strikes it. Then the tone which is opposite charged adheres to the locations.

Control Panel / Printers / Find the printer in question / right click on it / properties

then go to the security tab and adjust options as you see fit

no ink

YES. In one fashion or another and with different names if you have a broad acceptance of what a "print head" is. NO. If you have a narrow, technical, precise definition of "print head".

A Thermal printers use print wires that are heated in the thermal printer so that they can burn dot patterns into special thermal paper, while thermal wax printers use thermal printhead to melt dots of wax-based ink from the transfer ribbon onto the paper. When the wax is cool, it is permanently attached to the page. Unlike direct thermal printer, the thermal wax printer does not require special paper to print on.

There may be multiple problems with the printer (or the ink cartridges):

Did you refill the ink cartridges? Use remanufactured ones? If so, then they may be: overfilled, heads/contacts worn out, ink level detector not reset (on some ink cartridges), etc.

Is anything (that's part of the printer or ink cartridges) broken? If so, it may be too broke to work.

Are the ink cartridges expired/dry? If they are expired, some printers say they don't detect them, thus they won't print. If they are dry, then they won't print. Try doing a head cleaning. Either with the printer's software, the printer's head cleaner button, or with cotton swabs and rubbing alcohol.

Did you touch the ink cartridges (where the printer's/ink cartridges instructions) said not to? If so, clean them.

Are the contacts on the ink cartridges/carriages dirty? If so, clean them.

Is the paper loaded/inserted? If not, load/insert the paper.

Are you using the wrong size/weight/amount of the paper? If so, please use the correct size/weight/amount of the paper.

Is the printer communicating with the computer? If not, plug 1 side of the USB Cable into the printer, then plug the other side into the computer.

Is the printer on? If not, turn it on. If this doesn't work, plug it in. Then turn it on.

Does the printer have a paper jam? If so, clear the jam.

Does the printer have objects in it? If so, get the objects out.

Is the printer dirty (on the inside)? If so, clean it.

Every Canon printer requires a certain type of Canon ink cartridge. The MP550 cartridge is for the MP500 series printer. Unless it is a refillable ink cartridge the actual cartridge has to be replaced once the ink runs out. If it is refillable then you can refill it once then you must get a new one or your printer could be damaged.

The disk containing the printer instructions must be put into the computers CD ROM drive!

The two main types of printers in use today are laser printers and inkjet printers. The HP P1102w is an example of an entry level black and white laser printer, while HP's 8600 is a higher end personal use inkjet printer.

It depends what kind of printer and ink you have

a high quality printer and cheap ink wont go well.

Computer printer's ink is specially formulated, and I would recommend not using an acrylic ink. Acrylic is a polymer and is likely to block jets and leave a messy, solid plastic film on rollers, etc.

A good brand that is a wireless, all-in-one printer would be Canon. Another good brand is Epson. Kodak also sell a printer that is all-in-one and wireless.

It would be much cheaper to buy the toner cartridges new instead of refilling them because most places charge almost the normal price of the cartridges anyways to refill them and you can catch these on clearance for half price or less at alot of stores which would be more worth the money.

The different numbers of HP deskjet ink is referring to the different model numbers of the HP deskjet printers. It is important to have the numbers on the ink be the same as the printer or ink cartridges will not fit in the HP deskjet printer.

DPSS Lasers are used for scientific as well as industrial uses, DPSS stands for diode pumped solid state lasers. They can be used for a variety of purposes such as bioanalysis, spectroscopy and in many more biological applications. They can also be used to produce light shows.

It is because you are trying to send a fax from a 32-bit application on a 64-bit O/S. You can confirm this by faxing from a 64-bit app (like Notepad on Win 7 64-bit) I think you'll find that your cover page option is no longer grayed out for that particular job.

Yes, because it does not need a pass work to be usable.

"Although I was not able to find any information on an HP Photosmart c3181, I did find a c3181A. If this is the one you mean, it is an all in one printer that offers printing, and photo printing capabilities."
