HP Deskjet 842C: Printer cartridges stuck, wont move back to print location

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 04:28:16 -0700

Would love to ad a picture. When you install new printer cartridges they move to the right and then back to print mode when you close the lid. "They" are not moving back to print and "stuck" on the right hand side.

I love this printer and agree with the description you posted. I have extra ink cartridges so would love to fix the printer and keep using until my ink drys up!

HP Printer: A Slew of Problems (CP2025)

Sun, 14 Jun 2026 15:28:59 -0700

We were purging my school and I took a HP Color LaserJet CP2025, as it was going to be thrown away. I'd like to try to get it back up and working but I'm encountering a handful of problems:

Doesn't print in color, despite recognizing the new (3rd Party) toner in it. It can tell how much toner is in each. The printer's built Demo Sheet prints in black and white.
Trouble printing in general, replaced the two "rolls" in Tray 1. Doesn't 'take' the paper from Tray 2 as well.
Encounters a 59.C0 error message, fails Color Calibration sometimes. I believe that the solenoid moves freely.

Here's a video of it trying to print: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lzqZC8-NE...

LaCie Minimus: I Won Auction: Cool Gadgets & Heaps of Tangled, Mismatched Cords

Sun, 14 Jun 2026 13:53:40 -0700

Since moving to Oregon I have longed for the helpful, competent fixer-folks that were in every other open-garage back home. Most have no interest in repair here, others overstate their skills and just brutishly destroy things. Mostly my things. That's not me. My father built and repaired everything and showed me how as he worked. So, I do fix things, however my confidence in electronic repair is timid. I feel I'm a capable, careful, manual reading, proper-tool using gal that respects the directions. I would have been content reading and learning from @oldturkey03's contributions all weekend. My point is, I don't know everything but I can repair things. Having said all that, the tangled nest of the cables here cannot be overstated. I may eventually tease out the matching power cords but I have other things to do and it's my birthday weekend!

Key Problem: I need to download 1.5 Tb of data from a paid data storaGe service to an external drive from the auction before I'm charged another year's subscription fee on Monday.

Question: Can one successfully cut the device plug from the main housing of a 12v power adapter and attach a device plug that seemingly fits? I have a new looking LACie Minimus with no writing at all other than "LACie". No amperage printed either but @oldturkey03 and I believe it to be 5v 2A. What say you? Can it be done without zapping the drive? I don't want to wait and be charged, I also don't want to destroy it if its just impossible. I need to know, given what I've shared, is it possible? And how,, I need that too, lol. Instruction and encouragement is always appreciated. Thank you!

Wacom MobileStudio Pro 16: Replacement Battery (Gen2 Model)

Sat, 13 Jun 2026 16:40:01 -0700

I have a gen 2 model MSP 16 and the battery won't charge at all. I've found guides on teardown and replacing the battery but can't seem to find an actual battery for this specific unit.

I've found gen 1 batteries on AliExpress but am hopefully someone here can point me in the direction of gen 2.

For the record I've already spoken with Wacom support and they want $1200 + shipping to swap the battery for me which is ridiculous.

I have been unable to find a replacement printer head part number QY6-8009 for my Canon Pixma G3200. Please tell me where I can find one.

I finally tried a “chat” on the Canon website. There a tech gave me the number of parts sales department. I’d tried and tried to discover it to no avail. Thankfully they have the part. Too difficult but in the end I’m all set.

But now, it took a few seconds then it blinked. My old motherboard would blink immdiately and my new one will take a few seconds
