Hi all.
I recently found a beautiful near-mint Color Stylewriter 2200. It's got an ink cartridge in it, but I'm guessing it hasn't been used for several years.
I hooked it up to my Quadra and installed the software and attempted to print out some text. It seems to be working, the paper gets sucked in and rolled out and it makes a lovely little racket, but there's no ink on the paper.
I tried removing the ink cartridge and the little thingymajig it sits in and cleaning them gently with no result. I did get ink on my fingers though, so it's definitely not completely dried out.
Is there anything else that might need cleaning, should I get a new ink cartridge, or should I just give up and throw the whole thing away and stick to my Personal Laserwriter?
Help appreciated.
