Out of ink....

[Mosh]

I ran out of yellow, and will not have another one till the morning...is it alright to turn the printer off so it stops beeping at me, I plan to leave it plugged in....

Yes it will be fine until morning.

throw an empty beer can at it

Pull the cartridge out, pull on the tab, cut it off and put it back in the machine and then turn it off. It will be fooled into thinking there is a good cartridge in there and everything will seem copacetic til you replace it.

Make pretend you have crickets in the building and that they are good luck.

I went on vacation a couple of weeks ago and while I was gone we had a power surge that turned my printer off for a couple of days.

When I returned I ran a test print and a few of the nozzles were clogged/not firing.

Personally, I hate running out of ink so I buy replacements once I am on the last quarter. Then when it goes I have another on hand.

If I was in Omaha I would call Midwest and pick up some more ink before 5:00.

Your mileage may vary.

I ALWAYS have an extra of each on had. First time I ever got caught without. Of course I have extra of the other three sitting here. I am over an hour from Midwest and am too busy to get out. I will have it around 9:00 tomorrow morning.

you can do this, it works (thanks for teaching me that Gino) or you can put a cleaning cart in. i have done both and no problems
