If it is not present use the 'Search' function of Windows by tapping F3 and search for the file on your Windows folder. 3. Copy the file into the C:\WINDOWS\Installer folder. 4. Fire up Windows Messenger and log in. 5. If there is a new version available, a message will prompt. Follow the onscreen instruction.

Image
There are four different types of screws and you want to get them back where they came from. To help you keep the screws straight, I have labeled the photographs with letters corresponding to each screw type. Here are the screw types: A: medium length plastic screw. B: short machine screw with integrated washer. C: longer plastic screw with integrated washer. D: shorter plastic screw. Before you attempt this process, you should remove the cartridges, do a deep head cleaning followed by a nozzle check and repeat until nothing prints. Then remove the print head and unplug the printer with the carriage still in the center of the printer. You will need a medium Phillips screwdriver with a long shaft (at least five inches long).

Use a flash light to see into the right side of the open area where you can reach the ink Caps. These are the small rectangular suction units where the printhead sets all the way to the right. When the carriage is Parked, these ink caps come up and cover the inkjet nozzles. There is one on the left for the black and one on the right for the color. 3) Add several drops of Windex to each cap until they appear flooded. The windex should begin to absorb through the Caps and down through the purge tubes to the waste ink pads. If it all goes in, add a couple of more drops. 4) Plug the power back in and turn the printer on. The carriage will move through a couple of cycles and you should hear the purge unit doing a couple o...
