Everything is connected but it wont print! When I hit the print button, it comes up and says "Printer not activated, error code -41". Please help! P.S, The printer is a DELL Photo 964
SOURCE: Dell Photo 964 - unsupported cartridge
How is it plugged first of all, did you set it up as a dell printer in add printer? try adding it as a HP printer since they are HP printers with the Dell name.

I had the same issue. Don't try to force the cartridge out though. After being stuck to the paper, tearing the remainder of the film won't get all of it out of the cartridge. You'll need to print a 'dummy' page to get the last bit to be pulled out and afterwards the printer will automatically release the cartridge allowing it to be pulled out normally.

Unfortunately on their website it isn't listed as supported by windows 7. Also when a new operating system comes out there is always a lot of issues in the beginning. I have seen quite a few windows 7 problems of this nature. My first question would be did you run the setup in compatibility mode for windows vista? This would be the first thing to try.
Thank you,

Hi there
Error 41 means there is a major problem with the printhead, usually
requires a print head replacement.
My advice is to take it to a
Brother service centre while if it is under warranty.
If it's out of warranty they are usually a throw away job, the heads cost as much as the printer.
Sorry I know what it feels like, just have a go and see what you can do, clean the heads and so on.
All the Best and good luck: Pineworks

Ok can try this
Error 1203 is an issue that occurs either when a cartridge is bad or the printer cartridge Slot is bad...
1 - try cleaning the copper contacts of the both carts and cart slot in the printer and try again..
or
2 - when error shows up, shut the printers power off; wait one minute and turn it back on press copy.
