We have manually cleared and tried to recharge the line. But adding the print head reintroduces air to the line. We have several bags of yellow ink. However the chip bypass hack is not working at least when you try to recharge the line through the printer and it wants you to change ink...

Anyone? Danno? AKwrapguy?

I'm back to trying to fix this thing. All of the original post conditions still apply, but I noticed that there is air in the yellow ink line that doesn't move when the print or prime cycles happen. So I know ink isn't moving. Are each of the ink lines primed by a separate pump/motor, or is it a...

Tried both to no avail. Anyone know how to test the primer pump? Or anything else relevant that I haven't mentioned? It's sad how little information is out there on troubleshooting this machine. Or I'm just incapable of finding it :/

No, it was running and printing the day I bought it. Then when I moved it to my location, I didn't plug it in right away. Bad news, I know. I've never owned a wide format printer before, so this has been an account-draining experience for me. I think I have learned pretty much every lesson so...

Yellow ink will not print. C/M/K/Lc/Lm print on all nozzles. We have tried replacing the ink, changed the print head, running print head cleaning cycles. Printer shows no ink in cassette, but I have verified that it is new, liquid and unclogged. The level indicator on the bottom of the cassette...

I think I have a set of print heads from the spare machine I got. Is that the majority of what to expect? Anyone else have thoughts or experience on this?

A few months ago I bought a running/printing HP Designjet 8000s. Due to some of my own lack of knowledge and foresight, I didn't plug it in and let it cycle like I should have, and I'm just now getting to setting it back up. After reading the manuals several times through, and attempting to...

Looking for advice/recommendations on any RIP that will drive an HP Designjet 8000s from a windows (from XP up to win10) machine. Simple & low feature programs are fine with me. I'll be very low volume for the foreseeable future, and I'm not in need of a bunch of bells and whistles. If I could...

Looking for Onyx Postershop 7 or any other RIP that will drive an HP DJ 8000s from a windows (from XP up to win10) machine. Admittedly limited budget. Please email direct to ADMIN@SHROUDZ.COM
