I own two Colour StyleWriter printers. They were on the free section on Craigslist not too long ago, and I figured I would pick them up (they came with three 13.5 volt adapters, and I required one for my StyleWriter 1500).

Bottom line- neither 2200s seem to function. They are in both great cosmetic condition, no cracks, or anything to indicate that it was abused. Even the internal parts look brand new.

When I turn it on, the error light on both 2200s blink. According to the information I found on the Internet, these printers were notorious for having a "waste ink full error," which would enable the printer to print a document. I went on the Apple website, and found a document on how to reset the waste ink amount, but no success. The 2200s still show the error light upon startup.

I have a Performa 5215CD. When I attempted to print a test document on Word 5.1, the computer gives me a dialog box with an error that states that the printer is not responding, paper jammed, or is out of ink. The printers both came with Canon-branded cartridges (non-colour).

Any thoughts on how to fix this? BTW, the StyleWriter 1500 still works. I just need to buy ink for it.
