Bit of a long shot:
I recently refilled the black print cartridge (loads cheaper than buying new cartridge!) using ink/syringe. This was semi-successful: I can print from the computer, as well as use the scan function. However the copy function no longer works.
Pressing 'copy' (whether B/W or colour) the printer screen goes briefly from 'x0' to 'x1' and back again, but without copying.
Interesting, removing the refilled black cartridge allows succesful copying using the cplour cartridge only. But replace the black one, and copy no longer functions.
Ideas?
