i ahve a problem with my old printer

ive just installed a new cartridge

and when i turned it on the three lights keep

blinking the green one and the two red ones

one red one is for the out of paper signal

but i have paper in the thing

but unless i can get those lights to go out it wont print

ive triedallsorts of fixes

has any one had this happen to them

sure i can get another one they are cheap here second hand

but i dont use it much

mainly to print out tips from you guys

i prefer to print as im the worlds worst at typing

any ideas

if it has removable print heads take the heads out and clean them.

then using a can of compressed air blow thru the little holes where the ink goes.

be careful as you will get ink all over you.

I just fixed a canon this way. I used wd40 to clean the heads.
