SOURCE: Install cartridge

I did a master reset and now it will print but the ink level for the yellow cartridge still shows "empty" even though it is a new one but at least it prints for now anyway.
Master Reset:
Turn off printer and unplug.
Hold down "OK" button and "Help" button and plug in at the same time.
Turn on printer and wait for reset to finish.
It worked for me. Hope it works for everyone.

Greetings, I have a Canon Pixma M610 and this problem just started happening. Everytime I replace an ink cartridge, the new ink color doesn't print AT ALL until I run a "deep clean". Then,...
Try removing all ink cartridges and printhead from the printer. Then, look inside the printer with a flashlight. Look into the right side of the printer and see if there is lots of ink gunk. Remove if any and try not to leave ink gunk on other printer parts. Turn printer off when removing ink gunk. Then after you are done cleaning, turn printer on and wait for it to command you to insert printhead. Do that and close cover. Then, insert cartridges when printer asks for them. Hope that helps. -Alex

MY HP laserject P3005 printer makes alot of grinding noise but prints fine,is there anything i can do
Hi lexdalex,

Test the cartridge, if you have an old cartridge then insert the cartridge and try running a test print. If the grinding noise is gone, then it is the cleaning blade on the cartridge.

Lexmark C510 is making grinding noises while printing large jobs
I found another posting stating that the culprit was the black toner cartridge. Sure enough I changed our black cartridge and the grinding noise has stopped. No wonder the grinding noise was not happening all the time only when the black cartridge got low. Thanks for the help!

1. Open the top cover of the printer.

2. Remove the print cartridges.

Use a dry, lint-free cloth to remove moisture from the contacts.

5. Insert the cartridges back into the printer.

6. Close the top cover.

7. Try printing again.

If you still cant communicate try with new cartridge .

To solve the printing problem..


# Hold the cartridge upside down, with the bar-code label facing you and take a damp paper towel.
# Use the towel to wipe the printhead of the cartridge on the bottom (where the ink comes out). Wipe the printhead horizontally in one direction only (left to right).
# Continue doing this until it looks clean.
# Then dab the cartridge on the towel to make sure the ink is flowing.
# Next, look inside the printer and locate the carrier that holds ink cartridges. Caution: Make sure the cartridges are not installed at this point.

1. Look for a shiny piece of metal underneath the contacts at the back of the carrier.
2. Take a damp cotton swab (use water only!) and wipe along the bottom of the shiny metal piece. Note: You may need more than one swab.

# Reinstall the cartridges, making sure you snap them correctly into the printer.

Grinding noise only when printing a large print job
It is passable the grinding noise is coming from one of the toner cartridges in the printer.

Check for any toner cartridges which are stiff or difficult to turn by hand
Replace and refilled toners or compatible toners with original manufactures toners.
If you have alternative toners available replace each toner in turn to see if the cause can be identified to a particular toner.

Gringing noise when printer boots up and when it prints
Probably worn gears for the rollers along the paper path or the gears that mesh with the imaging roller in the toner cartridge. Remove the toner cartridge and reseat it. Also look for any rounding of the gear teeth on any of the rollers while you have to cartridge out.

Printer makes noise while cleaning heads
Grinding noise is most likely caused by the carriage lock getting stuck and holding the print head at the home position. The noise is caused by the toothed belt that pulls the head back and forth, skipping over the splines on the motor drive wheel. If you have been able to print since the problem occurred, chances are that it has freed itself up and will be fine. Regarding the loss of cyan & magenta output, follow the solution given in my previous posts to complete a manual under-head cleaning cycle. This should get you going.
