What to do when there is ink in the printer and it does not print?

Hello, although I use a brother printer, after two years of not using it, I also had a problem, it turned out that it was enough to run cleaning in the printer settings and run a few photos for printing to make everything work. Of course, the first printouts were blurred, incomplete - bad but after two sheets the printouts were already correct

You need to install a special program for your printer and there should be an option to clean the nozzles because the move could go back to the toner when the printer was not used for a long time.

I have some deskjet too, listen, I think I've definitely dealt with the drying up, at least for now. And it dried up, whether original, or filled after 3-4 months, or a full cartridge or 1/5, whether tightly closed in a zip bag or left in the printer, it doesn't matter, it's ink, it dries. I had some special liquid for cleaning the head, that you leave it in the lid of the liquid jar, insert the heads for 2 hours and that it is to be cleaned. Okay, that doesn't do anything. The only thing that gives results to this day is to have a filled cartridge, you can inject the ink yourself. no problem, but when it dries, you DON'T FUCK with it at all. 2 minutes and the ink has dried and prints. Black. What am I doing? bathroom -> hot water in the bowl -> ink in your hand and pound it against the bottom of the bowl for several seconds, it's good if some bubbles fly, take it out every few seconds and check if you "wipe" the ink from the bottom, whether it leaves a good mark on paper, if so, then the ink already knows how to print. Now wipe it well from the water and put it in the printer. It should be printing now if it left a strong mark on the paper after bathing. If you keep pounding the ink against the bottom of the bowl and it still doesn't leave anything on the paper, you need to peel off (uncover) the hole where it is injected from the top, so that some water flows in and softens the ink inside (a few bubbles may be enough). and that's it. and prints, it's the only method that hasn't failed me. I bought some ink on Allegro and now I inject myself and I don't fly anywhere, I have to print when I need it, and as soon as I try to spray it into hot water and it's ok. Thank you for your attention.

Sometimes I also have a problem, although with a different printer, but usually it helps to remove the ink and load it similarly.

If you're experiencing issues with your printer printing faint or illegible text, there are a few things you can try:

Make sure the ink cartridges are properly seated and that the protective tape has been removed.

Check the ink levels and replace the cartridges if they are low.

Clean the print head by following the manufacturer's instructions. This can often resolve issues with faint or blurry printing.

Try aligning the print head to ensure that the ink is being applied properly to the page.

If the issue persists, try restarting the printer and your computer.

It's also a good idea to store ink cartridges properly to ensure that they don't dry out. Keep them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it's possible that there may be a problem with the printer itself. In this case, you may want to try using a different printer or contacting the manufacturer for further assistance.

The truth is that your ink cartridges will always freeze if you don't use them often. Gel inks are a bit better in this respect, because they can last longer. Therefore, with an inkjet printer, you should prophylactically run a printout at least once every two weeks to clean the nozzles in the printhead, the so-called carriage.

You can possibly do this test. Put the inks on the paper. If a colored trace is left on the paper, the inks themselves should be fine and then the problem is rather in the printer.

In my opinion, the symptoms you have given indicate clogged nozzles. There are special liquids for rinsing them, but they are usually expensive and do not last long. If you want to try a repair, you can find them on Allegro.

last thing. While having the ability to print in color is not a priority in your case, a laser printer will definitely be better for occasional use. And if you must have color, then consider buying a gel printer.

The print head may be clogged or dirty and can be cleaned using the printer's built-in cleaning procedure (described in detail in the manual).

Alternatively, if the printer head is built into the ink tank, you can wipe it with a paper towel. Removing the dried ink residue will allow it to flow freely.

I have an epson L3060 printer and if I don't use the printer for a long time, I have to mix the inks, it takes a while but it helps, it's best to read the instructions because they probably wrote somewhere how to do it

It's best to print something often, because the ink often freezes and then you have to buy a new one, so it's best to print it often

I would uninstall the printer, download the latest drivers from the HP website and reinstall.

If the ink in your printer is not printing, there are various ways you can try before deciding to buy a new printer. The first step is to check the ink level and make sure that the cartridge is properly installed. If the ink is low or the cartridge is not seated correctly, the printer may stop working. Next, it's a good idea to clean the printheads. For HP printers, this can be done using the HP Print and Scan Doctor. This utility will help you detect and solve printer problems and perform a print test to detect the problem. You can also try cleaning the nozzles in another way, such as with a cleaning fluid intended for this purpose, or manually with a needle. In the latter case, however, care must be taken not to damage the printer. If the above methods do not work, it is worth considering buying new ink cartridges or choosing a new printer that meets our requirements. When it comes to storing carcasses, it is worth keeping them away from sources of heat and light, as well as keeping an eye on the expiration date. Storage in a cool and dry place extends the life of the ink.
