Just recently i have started having some printer problems. I have a HP Deskjet 895Cse, its 3 years old (which might be the problem). When i put brand new ink cartridges in, the ink cartridge light still stays blinking, when i try to print, all 3 lights on the printer start to flash randomly. I figured it may be because its old, but i hooked up a brand new HP Deskjet 5150 and it does the exact same thing. So this makes me think its not because its old, maybe there is a driver issue. So i reinstalled both of the drivers and i still get the same problem. But when i turn the printer off and back on (the 895Cse), a few pages print. If anyone has any idea what the problem is, please let me know.
Thanks
