How essential Is the printer's Cleaner Unit for the proper functioning of the printer? I purchased a used printed,bu tit came without its Cleaner Unit ,and I can't find where to buy a replacement Cleaner Unit. Thanks.

Is the Cleaner Unit part of the print cartilage because that is the only thing that is on this little printer -- I have used mine for years and love it.

It sounds like a bad unit. Mine prints just fine and I'm sorry I'm not more help. Can you return it and get new one?

yes ... and easy to do, although I haven't had any need to do so for cleaning (I removed it to see what would be entailed in replacing it, which I abandoned once I found out a new print head cost more than the printer).

Not much help for your particular problem but seriously consider dumping the printer. I had one and found endless problems with it. It is undoubtedly the worst printer I have ever purchased. Eventually I replaced it. Sorry about your problem but I can only advise based on my experience.

I sold my printer 6 months ago. It still performed beautifully, no problems with any functions. I was very impressed with that printer, it was as solid as a rock. I only sold it because I moved and needed a smaller printer.

I agree with Matthew. Throw the printer away and buy any other brand. Mine doesn't even work anymore. It's a useless brick on my desk.

I was unable to fix this problem. I think this printer manufacturer is putting out a lot of defective units because some people love it and the rest of us hate it because it won't work. I sent it back and bought another brand that was basically the same printer, and this one works great...

Hope this help.

You can also go through the printer's maintenance and try have the printer perform a print head cleaning as well. I was having some major problems with mine too (it just turned out that I was using cheap ink).

Worked just fine for me. I did clean the inside of my printer to clean up any dry printer powder so it wouldn't streak. (which seems to be an issue people are mistakenly saying is caused by the new cartridge).

Hello Thank you for sending me your query. One thing. I ordered this Catridge from AMAZON.COM as spare catridge. Still I am using the original catridge which came with the printer. Before buying it, I saw reviews in

Mine kept printing for awhile after I got the "replace ink" message. Also, it is my understanding that the ink cartridges that come with the printer are generally sample cartidges and do not contain as much ink as the full, replacement cartridges. While that seems kind of crummy, I think most companies that supply cartridges with the newprinter are doing that. When I was shopping for this printer, I was suprised to find that many companies have stopped including any ink with their new printers!!

I don't remember the printer I bought this for as the ink system never worked and my printer never worked after I tried tit so I had to buy a new printer. I really don't know if the continuous ink had anything to do with my printer breaking or not.

What listing are you referring to? Most of these printers on Amazon are being sold as new. There are a few listed in the used section, but the prices are the same as a new one so I don't know why you would even consider buying a used one.

Have you bought the printer? I, too, am thinking of buying this printer and I also LOVE using Picassa. I always edit my pictures on Picassa before printing them. Just curious to see how this is working for you.

You can try taking the print head out and cleaning it, but I have not had good luck with it fixing it. Sometimes it helps and then the next time I use it, it won't print black again. Basically, these are useless printers. The print head is about $50 to buy a new one and they don't last very long. I'm limping along with this and then I will buy a different brand. Sorry. Maybe cleaning it will get you a little more use.

I ran into similar problems with the system. trying to use headcleaning ended up saturating the rollers and rendered the printer useless. I had to get rid of the printer and the continuous ink system. It seemed like a good and economical idea at the time, but it actually was more costly and more trouble than it was worth.
