Cigaro Posted February 5, 2008 My printer is reluctant to print any black, at all. I have replaced the cartidge, and cleaned them endlessly, but still nothing. Its a Tesco cartridge in it. Colour is fine, black isn't. Both are Tesco. Any ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gave them away on Freecycle and bought an HP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N User Posted February 5, 2008 I had issues with a HP F380. It was **** and I gave it to Barnardos. In contrast to Jambovambo, i've never had a problem with an epson. Currently got an rx560 and it's top. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
