give me your id..

There may be debris that is blocking the communication between the cartridge and the printer. Remove the cartridge and unplug the printer from the power supply. Take a little bit of rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab and wipe off the contacts on the cartridge as well as the contacts inside of the printer. Allow both to dry for a few minutes before plugging the printer back in and re-installing the cartridge. This should clear up any miscommunication between the two.

Hi There

Summary

Usage of compatible ink and leave the printer idle too long may cause printhead clogging
What should you do if you get this problem. Relax; you may recover the printhead by unclogging it. Follow these steps to unclog the printhead

1. Right click in the printer driver name
2. Select Properties menu
3. Click Maintenance tab
4. Click on cleaning sign for regular cleaning. Perform this up to 3 times.
5. If this does not work, perform Deep Cleaning

And if that not work

Some times it needs a good clean up but this is up to you if you want to do this,
But after you done this prime the printer so it gets the inks back in the heads, it may take a little time for the inks to work.

Ok.

There is fluid cleaner for this but I can never find any in the shops the only ones I seen is when they sell them in Tesco but they come in with the ink refill bottles so I just use worm water by it self on a cloth and dabbing on the heads to clean them, it will not harm the heads but not to much water.

Some heads are on the inks them self but some have them inside the printer so I not know your printer so if the heads are inside you need to get them out you may find that some heads will just clip out put some need to be unscrewed so you got to know how they come out so be careful and not push to hard on them, if the heads are on the ink then it is a easy job to clean them,
It worth a try it worked for me more than ones.

Please all I ask is call back and just gave a vote, it will gave me some satisfaction to know am helping some one, so I will keep on helping.

are you sure that you are not run out of ink? check the ink level, buy new cartridge...

Could you tell me what the error message says?

How old is this printer?

It's either you color cartrige is defective or that you ran out of all the other colors. Change your color cartrige and let me know

There is a software that comes with all Hp printers (its the printer driver) when you click it in control pannel it tells you how much ink you have leftl.

Well. In this printer there is a sensor for detecting papers. That is built in to Carriage which we put cartridges. This sensor may got durt or jumped out now. You can access it by opening the door, Then look at the right side of the carriage. You will find it, very closer to carriage moving rod. If it is already jumped out, you may see some copper lines with an empty connector.

Try a different brand of envelope.. sorry simple but true.

i did not have the driver hp deskjet D 1360.plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz u give me driverplzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

hi,the reason why it most probaly comes with that error is that the driver is not meant for windows 7,so go on line check hp site, printer drivers and download.

please printer driver setting .. give a print ...select your printer and go to printing preference then go to color tab check for any setting like print in color in gray and print in color ....... select print print in color ......and try ....
