HP DesignJet Z6100ps 60-in Printer
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and older

Hello,

 We have a DesignJet z6100ps 60". Both LM halves of the LM/LC printheads stopped working at the same time. We assumed it was an ink problem. Got a new LM cart in and now it will print Light Magenta for about an inch or two then stops. After that, if I print the diagnostic print there is no LM printed. If I clean the LM/LC printheads the LM is back, but will still only print an inch or 2 then stop again. Does anyone have any advice or know what the problem might be?

Thanks,

 Jeff at Grafaktri inc.

sounds like the printhead is not refilling itself...maybe air in the ink tubes..
