It’s a shame about the faults in
this printer as when it works it is outstanding. I’m sure it is
hidden in
the small print somewhere, but the one thing that I didn’t realise at
the
time of buying is that the print heads have a life of 25,000 pages IIRC or
one
year. If used in a home environment it seems unlikely that the 2,000 page a
month limit will ever likely be reached. I had a black print head go south
after around 3,000 pages just before Christmas – just outside the
warranty period!
That said, when the print heads behave
themselves you do get bucketloads of ink in the replacement cartridges
compared
with the all-in-one style of replacement, and it is pretty fast as inkjets
go.
I just hope that I don’t suffer any of the “built in”
failure
modes, as I really don’t fancy shelling out for a printer that I
don’t actually use that often.
I replaced my defunct HP5200C scanner
last
month (self repair failed) with a 5400C. It is faster, higher resolution,
the
software is MUCH better, and it was cheaper. I seem to be spending most of
my
time nowadays using the two as a colour copier!

Given
that when I finally got someone from HP to talk to me yesterday and went
through the fault with them they came nowhere close to giving me a solution
then I don't hold out too much hope of getting any help from them in any
other
way. Basically the unit is out of warranty (which I do completely
understand)
and so they aren't interested in helping (which I don't).
Given
the information from Dr John and Luc I've effected what I consider a
"temporary" repair and using the old cartridge I've had it do a
self
test sucessfully and a couple of prints ... all I now need to do is take
back
the two full carts and try to exchange them as faulty as they have had
their
"chips" written to and now log to the printer as
empty!
I
have
also had an offer of help from Mike Huggins (of Lets Automate) who has
given me
a phone number for someone that works for him who will try to locate me a
replacement part...

I
tried
when mine went up the spout, and got no where, despite the fact I am a
reseller
of HP !!
I
only
got the 2200 after I received a assurance that the design fault in the
2000C
had been corrected, fortunately for me I did not have many spare cart's
