Solve : HP C2400 series cartridge sensor?

Answer» I removed the cartridge apparatus from the printer in order to print chemicals using the cartridges into a container of water. The printer is saying there is a carriage jam when I try to "print". I'm guessing it's because the cartridge apparatus is out of the printer, so it isn't moving and sensing the sensor. Is there anyway I can remove or disable the carriage sensors so I can print without the cartridge apparatus moving inside the printer?How would the printer print without the cartridge not moving? I'm not trying to actually print on paper. I'm using the cartridge to disperse EXTREMELY small volumes of a mixture into a container of water, so the cartridge can be stationary above the container. EVERY time I turn on the printer, it says it has a carriage jam, so I was wondering if there was any way I could fool the carriage sensor into thinking the cartridge is moving, or at least find out where said sensor is in the printer. I tried unplugging the sensor CORD, but it also attaches to a paper feed sensor, so that action results in a paper jam, because it isn't sensing the paper.Quote I'm not trying to actually print on paper. I'm using the cartridge to disperse extremely small volumes of a mixture into a container of water, so the cartridge can be stationary above the container. What exactly is it you are trying to do here ? ?Basically, I'm dissolving a COMPOUND in solvent and putting it in the cartridge, so I can disperse the mixture in very small volumes in a container of water.

Unplugging the sensor cable doesn't WORK because it also attaches to a paper feed sensor, so it relays a paper jam because it doesn't sense the paper anymore.
