inkjet printer advice

(1/5) > >>

andyhx:
Hi folks; HP deskjet 840C seems to have died - power pack ok (checked with the scanner) but no life in the printer. Is there anything i should / could check easily before asking the next qn??

Next qn is can anyone recommend a reasonably priced wireless inkjet colour printer for documents and photos which is used infrequently and doesnt cost the earth in ink??

Oh and while i'm on, i have a scanjet 4300 scanner which doesnt work with Vista Home Premium - anyone got a fix??

Thank you.

Andy

Hi Andy

Is the printer making any odd noises, or generating any Windows error messages?

Look at the HP Photosmart series, wireless and wired ethernet, Bluetooth, two paper trays, auto-duplexing and decent scanner. I spend about £100/year on original inks, printing 5-6,000 sheets.

That would fix the problem with the 4300 too. ;)

andyhx:
thx Rik; printer shows no sign of life at all...one day it worked the next it didnt (well when i say next it was a week or so later).

I'll have a look at the HP Photosmart printers.

Cheers

Rik:
I suspect a circuit board or the ribbon connector has failed. It's just possible it has an internal fuse, of course.

andyhx:
Web search for internal fuse hasnt yielded an answer ...yet :-)
