PC tip - Printer not printing a colour.

This infurated me for ages.

My last printer used to allow me to flush / recover individual colors on the colour cartridge however, after it died we moved to a Lexmark all-in-one printer,scanner.

If one colour goes off from lack of use - you have to keep printing (and wasting) ALL of the colours, just to get the one thats stopped working again.

So, I had a brainstorm last night when the Blue stopped working - simply draw and fill a square in deep blue (I used MS Powerpoint) - or whatever colour ISNT working.

I filled half a sheet of A4 with the box - and then printed it out a few times on 'better' quality - RESULT!!!!

Within two prints the blue was working properly again.

Cheers - Frank

Wish I had shares in the cartridge companies
