My HP PAINTJET printer has a problem! When i turn the printer on, the print
head moves as if it's cleaning the head but thats it! The "on" light stays
on but the
"SET TOF", "LF", and "FF" buttons don't work. I've tried a test page by
holding down the "FF" button and turning on the printer but it won't print.
It just goes through the head cleaning stage again and then stops.
If i turn the printer off and manually move the print head to the other end
of the carriage and then turn it back on again the print head will move
back to it's home position.
 
Any help, information or thoughts on the problem are very welcome!

Carl.
