I am using jet tec carts on a canon IP4000. I don't do a lot of B&W prints and it may be the paper, KODAK thick heavy glossy stuff but I did a couple of B&W prints which turned out to have a slightly beige tint, making them look closer to sepia than B&W. Is there a way to combat this without...

I have a Canon ip4000 with only 1/2 of the black (3e-BK) printing in the draft and the standard modes. Very distinct bands (not streaking) alternating with a good line and a blank line. Cleaning was to no avail. What I did to be able to use the head was to go into the envelop mode which gave...

My toner light came on and I'm experiencing a light grey streak going down the center of the page. Does anyone have an idea if this is all created by the toner being low or did the fuser go bad at the same time? Would this have anything to do with the imaging drum? Secondly, I have around 60,000...

I have an HP 1020 printer. I have found out the 10xx printers are host based and do not understand PCL. I cannot get the SaMBa smbclient to print to these shared printers. Any ideas on how to overcome this? Just buy better/different printers? Thanks for help.

Hi All, I'm after a cheap, black and white laser printer to supply for a customer with a small office. Needs to have ethernet, and for toner to be reasonably priced. Smallish footprint, duplex and reasonably quick print speed are all bonuses but not essential. Any suggestions for a reliable unit...

Hello, Many Epson professional printers accept a 'Third Party RIP'. I do not understand that. What is the purpose of a third party RIP? Thanks

I just got this message. I tried to call Canon but got put on hold. Anybody know anything about this? -- Robert B. Peirce, Venetia, PA 724-941-6883 bob AT peirce-family.com rbp AT cooksonpeirce.com

I did something rather stupid today while doing a clean up on my hard drive. I accidentally deleted all my email, thinking I was deleting my back up files, which I wanted to update, since I hadn't done so in over 6 months. As a result, I have the older back up file but lost the last 6 months +...

I recently refilled (1st refill) an HP 6578 cartridge for my HP 932 printer. I was very careful to inject the correct colors in the right chambers, and was also careful not to overfill. Well, printing was OK for about 2-3 pages, then bam!! The yellow dissapeared and is instead magenta. The correct...

Are there any printers out there, by Epson or others, that are _not_ an ink ripoff these days? I have an Epson C61 printer. Works well, prints reasonably good prints. Gave me no hassles installing and has never behaved strangely. I bought an Epson because I was sick of the uppity behaviour of...

I'm having a problem printing anything to this printer. drag & droping a text file to the printer driver results in an error printing a web page from netscape results in an error. going to the Epson Spooler results in a black screen that lasts for a few seconds. I've uninstalled & reloaded the...

Just going through some initial tests here and I am having trouble with the scanning software. With Libreoffice, I go to Insert - Picture - Scan Request and the Brother scan software starts off OK. I can do a preview scan OK and view the image, but when I do a real scan no image appears. No...

Have for once tried getting a non-OEM cartridge: the black ink cartridge for the Canon Pixma IP 3000. It doesn't click into place like it should and is loose, so doesn't work. It says on it that it's the BJC 3000; I had asked for a replacement for the BCI 3EBK. Have I been sent the wrong one or...

I bought a Citoh EZ-4PS thermal label printer years ago and used it without any problem under Windows 98. Now I have a new PC with Windows XP, and I can't find a proper driver on the web. I found a few drivers but none work properly. The brand Citoh does not exist anymore apparently, those EZ...

I loved Epson color printers. They print beautiful pictures. I had been using Epson printers for many years in the past. Because of frequent cloggings, I switched to Canon inkjet printers (i950 and S520). But I am not so happy with color on the prints with i950. Too much red on skin color. ...

I used to own a GCC laser printer (different model than yours), and the "GCC" toner cartridges were really OKI cartridges (the laser engine was made by OKI). It was cheaper to buy cartridges from a mail-order computer-supplies house than to buy them from GCC -- but I don't remember whether I was...

I am trying to print out a nice graphic inside my Christmas cards (10" x 7") on my Xerox Phaser, however 10 x 7 card stock (also known as a B5 size) is not one of the options. Is there a way to configure this printer to print a B5 size? Xerox has been of zero help unless I'm willing to pay them a...

Hi all, Using some ISO standard photo patten Canon claim you will get the following number of pages from the cartridges in the i9950: photo magenta: 280 photo cyan: 380 yellow: 540 magenta: 790 cyan: 1100 black: 1100

I would like to buy a sub-printer but i don't know who. Can anybody help me? Is it worth or is better a new inkjet printer? POS-NEG? TIA

wrote in message ... Got meself an i850--and love it. Only want to use it to print letters, CD labels, and other color stuff--NO photos! For the time, and the cost of much ink used, I'd rather send my files to Walmart for prints. ...
