Hi there
Dell Printer 944 error message 1102
Please unplug the printer from the wall. Now remove the power brick from the back of the printer for 60 seconds. Now plug everything back in. This will reset any error messages the printer has. Now open the printer with the power on and the cartridges should go to the center to be replaced. Take out both Dell Series 5 ink cartridges and make sure the tape is off the cartridges and insert both back in and make sure the seat properly and latch. Close the printer and it should print an alignment page. If you still get the error message

Why does my Dell ink cartridge level still show up as "low ink" after refilling them?
Dell ink cartridges have a sensor that reports the ink level as low once it reaches a certain level. The sensor can not
be reset. If you refill an ink cartridge that previously reported low ink, it may print fine, but the sensor will always
report low ink. Buying or replacing ink cartridges with new Dell cartridges will resolve the low ink message.

Dell discourages ink refills. Refilling ink may lead to print quality problems, and even eventual hardware problems.
This post is in no way a validation of refilling ink cartridges.

Why my printer is reporting “low ink" after using refilled/remanufactured ink cartridges?
Most ink cartridges have sensors that report the ink level. The “Low Ink” is usually the last sensor (fuse) before
running out of ink.

Since the sensors are fuses that open when the ink level drops, they cannot be reset. If you are using refill or
remanufactured ink cartridges, the best thing to do is to disable “ink alerts” on the printer’s software so you don’t keep
getting “low ink” messages.

To disable “Ink Alerts” on Dell inkjet printers:
1. Open the Dell printer software (All-In One Center, Tool Box, etc)
2. Go to Settings
3. Advanced
4. More Options
5. In the “Appearance Mode, window, check “Never display the Printing Status window” and “Display the low
ink alert only when the cartridges are almost empty.
Please come back and just gave a vote, it will gave me some satisfaction to know am helping some one so I will keep on helping.

Printhead replacement

If all of your cartridges are good and full of ink and you have done all to clean and still cannot get printer to print a test page then your print head is fubar and in need of replacement. Not cheap and often better to get new printer than replace the print head.

  • If you are installing new ink cartridges, remove the sticker and transparent tape from the back and bottom of each ink cartridge.

    Dell 944 error message 1102 after fitting new DellBlack Cartridge

    hi there,

    you can try these steps:

    try to remove the new black cartridge. get a clean cloth. gently wipe the copper strip of the cartridge. unplug the power cable of the printer. gently wipe the contacts of the black cartridge carrier (where you put the black cartridge in). close the carrier, plug the power cable back in. install the black cartridge. then check for the error code.
    if you still have same error code, try the old cartridge.
    if the old cartridge still works, you need to contact dell for the replacement of the black cartridge (if you purchase the black cartridge from dell)
    if the old cartridge is also giving same error. try the steps on the color cartridge as well, it might be with the color cartridge error.
    or both.
    worst case scenario the contacts on the printer carrier might be broken already.
    but in this kind of situation. 98% it's the cartridge that's causing the issue.

    have a great day :)

    Cartridge Error, Error 50C

    Hi there Error 50c

    Dell gets this lots so have a try.

    Regarding the Dell A940 "Error 50c"....the user guide doesn't seem to mention "Error 50c". They do, however, mention a "Cartridge Error" on page 52 of the manual. They claim this means that the printer has detected a short circuit (fuse/resister) in the cartridge. As you may or may not have noticed in the manual, this is what they recommend doing about it:

    1) Press Power to turn the printer off.

    2) Lift the printer cover/lid (scanner unit) until the scanner support holds it open.

    3) Turn the printer on.
    The ink cartridge carrier moves and stops at the loading position unless the printer is busy.

    4) Remove the color ink cartridge.

    5) Lower the printer (scanner unit) until it is completely closed.
    If the error message displays again, replace the black cartridge with a new black cartridge.

    If the error message does not display, repeat steps 1–3 and then go to step 6.

    6) Reinstall the color cartridge and remove the black ink cartridge.

    7) Lower the printer (scanner unit) until it is completely closed.

    If the error message displays again, replace the color cartridge with a new
    color cartridge.
    If there is no error message (indicated by flashing lights), repeat steps 1–3 and then reinstall both ink cartridges.
    8) Lower the printer (scanner unit) until it is completely closed.

    If you get the error message again, while both cartridges are installed, replace both of the cartridges.

    Basically, what they want you to determine is,....if the short circuit is with the "black ink" cartridge or the "color ink" cartridge and then replace the cartridge that has the problem.

    You may have to buy a new cartrige.
    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.

    Error 1102

    Normal 0 Could have a corrupt driver.
    Disconnect the printer or at least be sure it is turned off. I'd do both and when the CD software program asks you to connect the printer to the USB port, do so and it should again work properly.
    Hope this helps. Bud
