 There is no USB connection and no movement of cartrdges as in the past?  I changed cable, USB location on back of computer, unplugged printer,restarted win 7 computer.  Doesn't work also with Mac book pro. Deskjet 1000.  Ran HP doctor and only could get to  "no connection".  

 

Basically printer light flashes constantly but no cartridge movement.

Thank you.

I had previously viewed the video. The carriage moved easily.

I tried to open the printer to mess around in it.  Found no resources to help on the internet.  No success.

I found another deskjet 1000 to buy since I had a significant investment in cartridges.
