Printer - Before I buy another one...

[LexiGirl75]

I made the executive decision to clean my DELL All In One printer roller part because when I changed the ink cartridge the ink came out just a wee bit clumpy-like on the paper.

So I thought to keep it from printing smudges I would just take some alcohol and wipe it down with cotton. Somehow that made it worse, When I print/copy something now it bunches and deletes half of a section of words/paragraphs.

Is there something I can easily replace/do to fix this problem or should I just go and buy a new printer? TIA

Today's printers are cheap enough to be disposable. Toss it and start over.

That's the only reason that was even an option I think I will, I want one with a fax anyway. Thanks

Sound like a bad ink cartrige.

Try using any cleaning utilities provided with the printer. If it's still bad replace ink cartridges and print heads.

And like you already said, there's always an option on getting a new printer/fax.
