I have the same issue as many others - when I click "Activate Online," it gives me an error message: "Wrong ID Code." I don't understand the instructions that are given to others. I've successfully completed step 1. Step two - I'm supposed to turn the printer on? I did. I pressed the power button. But it then shows a maintenance error - that the ink cartridges are not installed properly (I've removed them - I tried both with them and without them). Then nothing happens. Is something supposed to happen? Am I supposed to do anything else? I've tried several things - turning my computer off then on again. Unplugging my printer, waiting 30 seconds, and plugging it back in. I've tried starting from step one again thinking maybe these steps have to be done back to back fairly quickly instead of waiting like 30 minutes between the steps. I'm not sure what else to try. Please help. And please don't just repeat the steps - please explain step 2 because I'm not understanding it. If someone else had success with those steps, please let me know how to do it - maybe I'm just misunderstanding something. Thanks in advance!
