As the error would suggest, this is a bad cartridge and needs to be replaced. Support should do that for you without too much fuss.

I called Dell and they are shipping new cartridges which should arrive Thursday 6/29/06.  I tried one of the other black cartridges they sent with the printer i guess it was a photo cartridge?  I still had the same problem.. Oh well I'll update this post when I get the new ones in.  Dell really should have a page listing what each individual error # code means. Again if they do have this information available please let me know. My Error Code was #1203. thanks for the reply.

If you go to support.dell.com and under Popular Support tools on the right there are several drop downs.

Change the upper two drop downs to printer & A964 and right below that, Select a Tool should read troubleshooting. Click go and you are taken to the same material the Dell techs look at for the most part.

You can diagnose your error and if you need to contact support, grab the journal ID you are given and let the agent know, this will speed up things tremendously as he/she will not have you repeat steps you have done.

In regards to your printer problem, there is always a chance the printer itself is causing this error, small, but it is there. If the cartridges do not resolve, you would be inline for a replacement printer if under warranty.

Error 1203 is 'print head has a short'.  You have a faulty color or black cartridge...
