What do I do with this Printer??

I've owned a HP 2600N Color Printer for almost 3 years now....it has started spewing toner over every print job. My first suspicion was that this was a bad toner cartridge, but it appears there are two colors spewing forth (magenta and cyan). After wondering around the net, I've come up with the conclusion that the only way to check the toner cartridges is to replace them.

I added it up, and then went out and found me a new printer and picked it up yesterday (I must say, Comp USA -- whom I used to loathe due to several bad experiences -- seems to have cleaned up their act a bit since their bankruptcy and re-org). Since my wife uses the study as her work office, we get a bit of a tax deduction on any equipment we purchase so here I am with a new network printer.

Sooooo.....what do I do with the old one? Is it worth the price of new toner cartridges to see if it can be made to work? Awful lot of toner left in those cartridges and of course, they don't fit the new printer.

Opinions?
 
You should be able to use HPs printer toolbox to clean the cartridges. They sometimes do make a mess if there is too much build up on the nozzle heads.

PS I have an old HP 940c which has and is still working great after 12 years and thousands of prints and pages of documents. Works better than the new 4480.

Cheaper to buy a new one than trying to repair one that's fubar.

I like this method:

The options just keep rollin' in. Though I think mine is cheaper, only costs a few pennies. Fuel for tractor, wife or girlfriend (driving lessons). Blowing up, travel time to an out of the way place, again combustables for removing offending item and the possibility of becoming a muslim (blowing oneself up also):redfire:.
