    It's possible this is a software problem.

    Try the printer on a different computer.

    I had the same problem on the same printer, the "Brand New" printer cartridge was dry, bought another and now works fine.

    Re: canon bjc 2100 big problem
    The print head is faulty.

    The print head holds the ink cartidges. You can attempt to clean the print head contacts with a isopropyl solution. However, that didn't work with my 2100.

    You can buy a new print head for ~42$ and continue to have the same problem occasionally. Alternatively you can buy a new printer (other than the 2100 of course).

    This is the first canon product I have had a problem with. I'll give them one more chance. :-/

    Good luck.

    BJC 2100 printer
    I have the same problem. The printer sounds like it is printing but there is nothing on the page. Did you resolve the problem?

    Printer won't print
    Hi,
    Here is a link:

    http://groups.google.com/group/micro...&start=0&num=3

    The above gives some good suggestions as to this specific printer. Sounds like it has more than it's share of problems!
    Another answer suggested buying a new printhead, and the above suggests the same, as it can go out in just 5 months.
    My suggestion would be to buy a different printer, and call this one a mistake!
    Walmart, and other larger department stores offer good values on Epson, and others.
    I do wish you the best of luck.
