I suggest just picking up a cheap printer. It'll be a lot easier than trying to fix your 695c. I used to own one of those, and had a multitude of problems with it.

Hi John

I guess you are right but I will wait a little maybe it will start working. I intend to try a different cartridge.

Actually I have had this one for so long that I am kind of attached to it - if you know what I mean - sentiments.

Indeed.

There is one remaining test that you could try to regain full-line function.

Go into the Properties settings for the printer. Carefully comb through all the settings, and turn Off all 'advanced'-type functions. I can't list them since they may differ for each manufacturer and model. Also experiment with the Port settings if you can. You may have to test with multiple combinations of settings. If this fails then a new cartridge is warranted.

Does the printer still fail if the document is double-spaced - a blank line between each printed line? (You can't operate this way, but it could be interesting to test.)

Is it possible that this could be a problem with the cable?

Hello all fiends who spent so much time and effort to help me out.

I decided enough was enough and went to buy a new printer officejet series.

As I was mulling over what to buy - one guy came to me - just walked up to me and just asked me if I needed refilled cartridges. I told him to buzz off, he persisted and I told him my problem. He sold me a cartridge for my 695.

Instead of buying a printer I bought this and came back.

THE PRINTER WORKED AND IS STILL WORKING FINE.

Thanx all again
