Hewlett Packard photosmart 7550 Printer.
Hi all,
my Hewlett Packard photosmart 7550 Printer. it is just out of the one year warrantee, and keeps coming up with the message, "The cartridge carriage is jammed" how can it be un-jammed except by switching off? also when trying to print a card made from a card software programme, it prints off to the top, despite the card/ paper tray being in correctly other than that can anyone suggest a good top loading Photo quality printer please. Thanks for reading, Mick Cant. |

Check to see if the cartridge carriage is jammed by any physical objects in
the way, I've not worked on one of those units but if it cost a good amount ($150 +) and if you haven't worked on any other HP printers or anything mechanically in consumer electronics (warning on pain in the a** clips they take alittle to get use too) then I'd say get a repair estimate from a local tech or repair center. For new printers here's my cheap suggestion, The Lexmark Z605 at $50 at wal mart is good for some one on a budget and doesn't print a 150 page paper a month. PC world reviews it as mediocre (but I trust user reviews more than there's but haven't found any yet) but all my pictures look great on it as I plan to use it for photos only and text on a laser jet (I work on monitors and printers and I've tested many and have a good eye for quality, my opinion not fact). I've heard about the canon iv550 or something like that is suppose be best in all fields in price and quality at this time, but I haven't had the pleasure of testing one yet. The only draw back to the Lexmark is how expensive the ink is. Well the best thing you can do is go through them all one by one and compare specifications and reviews and pick what's right for you. Good luck though on repairing your current unit. -glasnostJDC "mickcant" wrote in message ...
