i just broke my printer. i went to change the ink cartridge (no, never done it before) and i put the cartridge in wrong. now i can't get it out.

:wtc:

this day sucks even more now. anyone done this before and can help me out?

 

Ohnoes... that suxors. :hugglez:

 

what kind of printer?

 

HP deskjet 3820

help me :happysad:

 

Baseball bat + your happy face staring at the printer = problem solved

 

just pop it out...but use some force.

 

i am using force.

i'd really like to smash it even more.

 

I havent used an HP before...but it should be pretty similar to all the other Epson's and Canon's. There should be an arrow on either the cartridge or the printer ink case that points up. Just match up the arrow with that and snap the cartridge in.


You said it was stuck... is there any way of pulling it out without interrupting anything that it is stuck to?

 

there is an arrow, but i wasn't paying attention and i shoved it in on the wrong side. i've been looking around and it doesn't look like there are small parts i can remove to give me the space i need.

 

Pliers, a screwdriver, maybe a hammer.
These tools, used with patience and care oughta work.

I haven't used an HP in ages, but I'll bet you can convince the cartridge to come out.
