Designjet 5500 ink leak

Posted by Bob Wert on

Hello, I had just installed one of your belts for the the DJ 5000ps and when I tried printing the calibration sheet the printer started leaking the light cyan ink. I think the problem was with my Ink Tube System and have bought a replacement from you guys. The ink got everywhere all the print head cleaners were soaked and the vacuum fan had was all saturated as well. My question is since the ink got everywhere do I need to get new print heads and print head cleaners. Seeing as how they are around $140 each it would be...

Communications problem with Jetdirect

Posted by Bob Wert on

I have a HP Designjet 5000 and last year I purchased a new carriage belt. I installed it and everything worked great.  I did not use the printer for a couple of months and now I can not get it to received a signal through the HP Directjet Card on the back of the printer.  I installed an new card but still do not get a light on the back to verify internet connection.  Is there something I can do to resolve this problem?

Desisgnjet 5500 0B000A error - Power Supply

Posted by Bob Wert on

We have received Error Code 010030 034c95a consistently now regardless of the outlet into which it's plugged. I've tried it in different circuits in two different rooms – even our surge-protected emergency outlet.

I'd appreciate any help you can offer....

Reseat Print Head over and over

Posted by Bob Wert on

I have had this printer for a long while but didn't use it for a while. I had to replace the ink assembly because it had air in the tubes. I replaced all the print head and am having issues with the cyan head. The first new head kept saying reseat so I had them ship me a new one. It worked fine then started spitting out blue ink all over the paper. I reset the printer and now it keep saying to reseat that print head over and over. If I put the old print head that has run...
