HP 895–Won't access yellow ink

Hit power button again and it will reset machine and run a maintainace program. When all is done run a print report. Mine works fine. Good luck.

ANSWER : I held the # and 6 down long enough to start a complete re-set of the printer But the Black ink level still shows as depleted when it is actually still half full.

ANSWER : This has been a life saver for us. Thank you very much for your help.

ANSWER : I worked fixing printers for 5 years for Verizon and some of the older printers were notorious for the waste receptacle filling and overflowing with ink. My solution was good old warm water. Remove the waste container and scoop out as much as you can with a small screwdriver, wiping the discard on a paper towel, then just run warm water from the faucet into the container till all the residue is removed. This is just water soluble ink folks, if you want to test it, scoop out a glob and dissolve it in warm water, its easy as pie. I never once bought a new ink discard reservoir. I just cleaned out my mobile 460 printer reservoir by the same method. There are no electrical connections its just all plastic.

ANSWER : Thanks for the “loose, white rectangular piece” comment in my 990cse. I found this same white piece of rubber today jamming up the cleaning station carriage assembly and was wondering where it came from!

ANSWER : Hope someone can help me with a HP Officejet G55 “problem”. I took my G55 apart and cleaned the service station as explained here on this site as it was obviously full of ink “goo” and the printer had refused to print in the middle of a printing, displaying a remove black cartridge etc message even though the HP45 cartridge itself showed it was not even half empty. I had no major problems with the cleaning procedure, but after putting it back together there was “the problem”! The Carriage with the ink cartridges gets stuck just before its about to enter its “home base” over the service station and I get a “fix carriage jam and then push enter” on the screen. I can see and hear that it is the service station that gets stuck just before the “cycle run” of the carriage is about to end. You can hear the service station motor gear slip on the plastic gear mechanism of the service station, not being able to move it any further but tries for a moment with a grinding noise and then stops. Is there some sort of time alignment I need to do between the carriage, service station mechanism and service station motor? Like service station pushed to the back, carriage to the far left etc etc. Ive tried a few “scenarios” but the carriage allways gets stuck in the same place with the grinding noise from the service station/motor “gears”! If I move the carriage by hand it goes from the far right to the far left without any problem. Its just when the service station/motor etc is engaged, that this happens. Hope someone can help me with this problem. Thank you.
