Ricoh 3300 printing blanks

[AJLA]

At a time like this, when i really need it and my richo is printing blank pages. Any suggestions?

[AJLA]

Its about 3 , 4 months old and was merrily plodding along then nothing

Blocked heads???

[AJLA]

I'M DOING A HEAD CLEAN NOW BUT IT'S WEIRD BECAUSE oops caps sorry, it's weird because there was no sign of banding etc

[AJLA]

After head cleans ets its now back to it's norm but I think thats very bizzare, I hope its not going t start playing up so soon.
Thanks Paul

in did sounds very bizzare for ricoh! all heads blocked at once (!)

[JSR]

Doesn't sound like a blockage. Sounds like the ink not reaching the printhead. Seen it on my previous Brother printer when using dye-sub inks. One quick head clean pulls the ink through to where it needs to be, and everything's hunky-dory again.

Not sure why it happens. Haven't seen it happen on my current printer, or on my A3 printer that uses regular dye ink. Could be a quirk of the cartridges.

[AJLA]

Definately something quirky!

Probably a bit of constipation.
