RE: Very old posted HP DESKJET 932C complaint

Lee,
I worked on literally hundreds of HP printers from the old Hp 4 all the way
up to the new color LaserJet models. In most cases when a "single" color
stops working it is usually in the print head connection to the cartridge.
Have you tried checking the print head for any residual ink? Try cleaning it
with rubbing alcohol and a Q tip. If this is not successful, then the logic
chip which interprets the input stream is probably gone.

Subject: Very old posted HP DESKJET 932C complaint

I have two HP Deskjet printers (722C & 940C) that have stopped printing
yellow. It's not the cartridges and it'snot the computer.
There are hundreds of postings about this problem on the Internet, and no
solutions. HP itself insists it's the cartridges, even if the cartridges
work just fine in other printers and even if you've tried half a dozen from
different sources. If you discover how to fix the printer, I'd appreciate
knowing how you did it!
