Angela,

Thanks. I have done the printer diagnostics and 
maintenance. The printer has been burned off 
except for when it is printing for over a year. 
The C88 doesn't have the Printable CD/DVD 
feature. I wish it did. My experience is only 
with Epson and HP but I have had HPs which would 
work even if a cartridge was empty.
