[QUOTE="l_d_allan, post: 203519, member: 5680"] The MX850 is a really, really nice printer, especially if you refill your cartridges, so I hope you can bring it back to life. It is one of the few printers I'd describe as nice enough to get a replacement print-head. It isn't a "throw-away if something goes wrong", but rather in the category, imo, of a printer you want to keep working as long as you can. * Was there something that happened that might be a factor in what is going on? * Like working on a clog? * Immersing in water or de-clogging solution like Windex? * Do you have another set of cartridges that you could try installing? * The message will probably show up even with no carts installed. Is that the case? * The MX850 and other printers like the iP4500 are very similar. The MX850 print-head will work in the iP4500, but the iP4500 print-head won't necessarily work in the MX850. Could something like that be involved? If you live near a relatively large city, it might be worth trying to track down a CLI-8 based printer that uses the same print-head ... ip4500, MP610, MP810 ... and getting it so you have a spare backup machine (even with only one print-head) [/QUOTE]
