"My HP 560C thinks it's a guitar!"


          

I can turn the printer on and watch the printing head/carrier/ink cartridge holder zip back and forth during it's start-up. At the last milimeter of movement, just before settling into the ready-for-business position, it emits a bodacious 'twang'! Is my old friend going out with a twang instead of a bang?

It's about out of ink so I'll probably opt for an HP model 950 at Sam's, but I am just a little curious about what is causing the noise.

Might be just off key a bit.

Maybe a whammy bar would help.



Wish i could help on this one. There doesnt seem to be a lot of printer questions in here.

Got me curious to see what others say

Could be it's "stringing" you along. Might be time to "pick" a new one before the repair guy "bottle necks" you into a bill more expensive than a 950c.

Write a hit song around the twang, and replace that old dog with a new printer.

I knew there were some wits hangin' 'round here. Well,....I was half right.

The title of my new hit song --- "Watch Where You Point That TWANG".
