Print Spooler Service Stopping

Then it is time to get a new printer. We bought a Brother HL-2280dw laser, because we only printed in Black and White. I got tired of replacing ink cartridges every 3 or 4 months, because they always dried out before we would print something again. That printer is End of Life, and there are some great deals on Lasers, which are pushing the Ink jets out of the market.

 

B&W printing problem

Print a photographic image with true black in it somewhere and see if it comes out correctly. If not, then yes, replacing your black ink cartridge should do it.

Edit: And yes, Namslas' suggestion is a good one, though I'd suggest alcohol instead of water.

 

Canon MP810 printing problem

Are these the same Printer Cartridges since the problem started ???

As LemP points out the Ink Nozzles in the Ink Cartridges themselves are probably blocked.

Ink in Ink Cartridges Dries / hardens and blocks if left for a period of time.

They can even dry out all together.

The time factor on this happening to the Ink Cartridges can vary on the climate you are in / heat / cold / humidity including how the printer is used and stored.

• If this Canon Printer was more towards the top tier of printers ( say around $190 Dollars ) i would buy and replace all ink Cartridges.
• If this Canon Printer was of the cheaper variety ( say under $50 Dollars ) i would buy another cheap Canon Printer as it would not be justifiable to replace the Ink Cartridges in a Cheap Printer.

• With Cheaper Printers in general the Ink Cartridges would cost close to the replacement value of a Cheap Printer.

I would suggest buying new ink cartridges and use the printer more frequently.
