Congratulations, it probably has the best inkjet printer mechanics in the world. Anyway. The contacts in the carriage are tiny rods on springs. They can loose contact both in front due to ink, or in the back due to softened springs or oxidized carriage PCB. You have to dismantle the carriage to strengthen the springs and to clean their footprints. Second version: probably the flex cable from the main board to the carriage got cracks in the conductor and needs replacement. It happens often with old or heavily used inkjets/design-jets.

You need to get yourself a wireless print server to connect to your printer. This will allow your printer to connect to the wireless network and print over wifi. Here's one I found on Amazon I think will do what you need: Belkin 802 11g Wireless USB Print Server

To reset your printer, unplug from wall and computer. Wait 1 minute. Done. That won't fix your problem. If it prints fine off word processor, the printer is fine. Need some setup for labels.

Hi, You could either advertise it on an auction site for spares or your local shop.
You could advertise it "Free to collector" as spare only!!
If you didn't want to do either your local rubbish tip as they will take electrical appliances for no charge and if they can they will also recycle.
Here in the UK some charities will take un-wanted electrical appliances and will repair it or use parts to fix something else, they will then sell it on raising money for charity.
Or you could simply break it up and put it in the bin, with other household rubbish.
Hope this has give you a few ideas!!

I'm looking for one now, myself. I decided dig-out the HP 722C and try to get it work with Windows7 64-Bit, now that I see there's a driver patch for some of these older DeskJets. I already downloaded and applied the patch (See message thread in the HP forum). I'm now shopping for a 36-Pin Centronics Male to USB-A (Male) cable converter. Be careful on the male Centronics plug - - - The one I'm looking for has 36 small square holes in the center. Do NOT just buy any coverter cable, as some people report they couldn't get it to work (with Win7 64-Bit). It must state it works with Win7 64-Bit or customer comments/reviews say it does. There's another type of Centronics that has 36 contacts spaced closer together without the 36 square holes. I have that cable and it must have come from an old Epson dot-matrix printer I once had. It will not fit my HP 722C. I do have a DB-25 to Centronics (36-Pin) cable I got from RS years ago. Now I need to get the new cable.

64 bit Win 7 has been a challenge for many. In some cases you may be able to force the Vista 64 driver to work as well.

Yes but do not turn it on. wait until you reach the step in the installation process that asks the printer to be turned on

Hope this solves your problem. Thanks for using FixYa.

Try doing a self test by holding the paper feed button until the green light flashes. If it prints a test page then you should try a different printer cable. You can also clean the contact points on the cartridge (looks like gold dots) by using nail polish remover or surgical spirits.
