HP Photosmart Service Menus!
Ok, I just got me a new, well refurbished, HP Photosmart D7460 printer. So what? The what is that it came with only 5 of the 6 ink cartridges that I need to try it out. Talk about being upset! Anywho I started poking around, trying different button presses and combinations trying to get past the “The following ink cartridge(s) apear to be missing or damaged” warning.
GUESS WHAT!
I failed miserably.
I did however find out that you can access the “Mfg Commands” menu by pressing the “Print Photos” and “Red Eye Removal” buttons at the same time.
Once you do this you get a screen saying “Enter Special Key Combo” with a OK button and a back arrow button. First thing I did was hit the OK button. I was rewarded with a menu of superuser commands! I played around and didn’t find anything to interesting in this menu so I went off to try and find some of those “Special Key Combo”’s that it asked for.
This is whaI have found so far:
this assumes that you have already pressed the “Print Photos”+”Red Eye Removal” keys also the former will no be known as PF and the latter as RER
push RER PF RER
push PF RER RER
push RER PF PF
push PF PF RER
All of these load up different menus. Some of these are tests some are named to scary for me to try on my new toy!
As I fiddle some more I will keep you all informed of my progress. Hopefully that does not include trashing my new’ish printer

[...] First thing first, I love the feel of the printer. Yes it is fairly large, but it has a very clean look about it. It has 4 buttons and a 3 inch touchscreen for controls. See my previous post for what you can do with those few buttons! [...]
