No, add all this up, and its definitely "caio" to HP. While I was researching buying a new printer - I'm SO glad I don't have to now - I learned that HP inkjet printers have THE highest cost of ownership of any currently available, across all makes! That is because when you buy a new ink cartridge, you are essentially also buying a new print head, since they are integrated into each cartridge! What a total WASTE of money and resources!!! (And HP claims to be going green?!?!?!) Apparently HP has no respect for their customers' time, and places no value on customer retention. I cannot tell you how many hours I wasted trying to remedy this last problem. Verify that the carriage moves to the center of the printer. For the 800, 900, 3820, 5500, and 6000 series, open the top cover of the printer. To resolve this issue, follow the instructions below. From difficulties getting it to work with my MacBook (as an AirPrinter using an Apple Airport Extreme) to the ridiculous consumption of ink, to this latest debacle - HP should be ashamed of themselves for lack of responsiveness and owning up to what is clearly a design flaw. The problem can be caused by a carriage stall or a paper jam. I just have to say that I have made my LAST HP printer purchase as a result of the experience I've had with this printer. I plan on doing so myself, as this is my primary printer and cannot afford to buy another one. Well, a BIG thank you to those who diagnosed the problem and offered outstanding guidance to resolve it. This meant marking the package as Fragile - Do Not Crush which results in a $1.71 USPS fee. *after having one of the capacitors crushed in mailing, I found I needed to take some extra measures to ensure it arrives safely. I ordered the smallest quanity I could (20), so now I have extras to share. I could hear a high pitch squeal, and knew from previous experience it was a bad capacitor. Printer wouldn't completely boot, and if it did, it would go completely whacky when I attempted to print. I was having the same issue with my C4680 printer. If your in a need for one, send $2 plus $1.71 for USPS First Class* shipping via Paypal, to racebaseresource at yahoo dot com, and I'll mail you one. Just fixed my C4680 printer, and now have (zero) extra 300uf 6.3V capacitors. C4680 Photosmart is showing 'Support SMM1FN0921AR' and is beeping every 20 seconds or so. In the HP Solution Center, click Settings. Double-click the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon on the lower right side of the Windows taskbar. Hopefully someone else might be in a simliar position like I, and be willing to ship their surplus capacitors to those in need for a nominal fee.
