Had (or probably still have somewhere) 1 or 2 of the parallel versions of them way back in 1990ish timeframe. I remember when you start a new cartridge, you use something to push the ink bladder in the back of the cartridge until the ink comes out the nozzles, then wipe the nozzles clean with a paper towel, then stick it in the printer. Wouldn't think you'd have to do much else to get it to work...
?
So I’ve been asked to help dig out a house of a deceased electronic, test equipment and ham radio hoarder.
One of the things it turned up while going through the many many boxes was 3 HP2225 inkjet printers with Gpib interfaces.
I see the ink cartridges are still available. Has anyone tried to breathe life back into one after sitting on a shelf for a few years (decades perhaps)?
Thanks,
Bob
And yes, the place is a thing of dreams/nightmares. Floor to ceiling, basement, first, second floor, isles just wide enough to walk in. We’re doing an on-site sale next weekend in Albany, N.Y. Send me a message offline and I’ll share the details.
A few pictures here:
And that’s just the stuff that wasn’t in boxes.
