Problems with Cartridge Detection / Slow Printing With BC-02 Cartridge

When using the BC-02 cartridge, printing is very slow. Cartridge detection (or Status Self Test Page) indicates that the cartridge is either BC-05 (Colour) or BC-06 (Photo). To solve this and other problems with cartridge detection,

* Power off the printer
* Unplug the printer's power cord, wait 5 seconds then replug the power cord in.
* Hold the Power button for 7 Beeps
* Release the Power Button

This will reset the printer and should resolve incorrect cartridge detection problems.
The driver is contained within XP installation CD.

Ensure that your laptop has parallel port set to ECP - Enhanced Capability Port mode is bi-directional and is used for scanners and printers. It allows data compression for images, FIFO (first in first out) for items in queues, and high speed, bi-directional communication. Data transfer rate is from 2 to 4 MB per second.

Manual for your printer here.
