Salve La stampante Photosmart HP D5160 dopo l'accensione inizia a produrre rumori come ingranaggi che si graffiano ripetutamente nell'area vicino al cassetto di sostituzione delle cartucce, alla fine dopo alcuni istanti la stampante smette di fare rumore ed ? pronta per la stampa, ma ultimamente, dopo sopra, sistematicamente non viene pi? stampato e il punto esclamativo rosso lampeggiante rimane. Le cartucce sono originali e hanno una capacit? superiore ai 3/4. Spero in tuo aiuto il prima possibile. Grazie. Roberta

It would be much easier for you and for me if you had mentioned the Operating System installed on your computer where you are going to install the printer. Anyway, select the suitable link for your operating system.

* If you are printing a CD label on a CD/DVD, insert the CD/DVD holder in the
CD/DVD tray now.

for instructions.
