Re: [Digital BW] Weird noise then all lights flashing red on my 2100

Steve:

Sorry to come in late on this, I've been away. I had the same problem  
with my 2200.

The problem, at least in my case, was that the little white knob (or  
lever) holding back the print head was not releasing. It is connected  
to something further back that will have to be lubricated. I went  
gung ho and lubricated everything that looked like it might need it.  
In the meantime I would push down the lever when I wanted to print,  
and it would print. Took a while to get to that point with much blue  
air.

No it's not terminal, and the machine is printing very nicely now  
with no complaints.
