After buying (and returning) and IOGear BT printer adapter I found it would not work with my Lexmark printer. Despite several searches, I finally found the info on this group that these "cheap" printers are not BT compatible. Can anyone suggest a few printers they would recommend that ARE...

Hi, I got a Brother MFC-210C multistation recently. Everything works fine, just - all pages are printed mirror image. I have it on a E-Mac, and all other functions are working fine. Anyone with a handy tip? Cheers, Dimitri

1. Will iP6600D take "regular", non-ChromaLife inks without ill effects? Well, information is limited, but near as I can tell the chipped tanks can be refilled if you so desire, just the software will complain three times your running close to empty before disabling the chip meter and letting...

Hi there, What about printing with a color laser printer on ink jet photo paper ? Is it safe for the printer ? Best regards, Clarence

Hi Most printers these days seem to be targetted at photographers, and although I do use a digital camera, most of my photos stay on the computer or on the net, rather than getting printed out. I am an artist, and I want to make prints of the artwork I produce on the computer. I want to use good...

Does anyone know why the magenta toner would be blotched only on the top of the page? I have new toners and photoconductors installed, cleaned the LEDs and fuser roller. I just dont understand why it would do this. Also.. it doesn't reset my toner count to 100% with my new toners installed. It...

I refill my cartridges. I have had no problems resetting the software ink level with the HP 56 and 57 cartridges, but the same procedure on the hp 21 (even though it looks identical) does not work. Has anyone successfully reset the ink level on this cartridge? For reference:...

Ok so I have multiple printers that this has happened to. For some reason when installing Local printers to my users computer Windows XP has the printer use a Dot 4 port. Now all these local printers that have had this happen to have been connected with a Parallel printer cable which normally...

What's the latest model HP deskjet printer I can use that will still print reliably from a DOS (inventory/invoice) program? Thanks! Scott

My trusty BJC-8500 decided to give up in the middle of a print job. The printer powers up and then beeps 4 times and the error lamp stays on. This normally suggests lack of ink or something similar and pressing the resume button usually gets you going until the next p[age after which you can...

I run an HP 2550L colour laser via a USRobotics router/printserver (Model # 8000-02, Version V2.5). CAT to the router; parallel between router and printer. HP provide a Toolbox monitoring program to keep check on toner levels etc. It runs via a browser. I bought the printer and router at the same...

My Epson Stylus photo 785EPX, 42 month old, has started to make an unusual noise when first turned on. sounds like a distant siren, whoopa whoopa whoopa, then goes away. The beast still prints fine but am wondering if its about to hatch? Suspect something has dried out but havn't got a clue.

I used to buy standard 22 lb paper for my HP inkjet printer from Office Max. It was just the right thickness. Now it looks like HP only makes 20 or 24 lb paper. I did a Google search for 22 lb, and came up with nothing. Does anyone know if anyone is still making this thickness of...

I am thoroughly happy with my Epson R200 printer except for a few things which I think new buyers should be aware of... 1) You CANNOT print if ANY of the inks are out. Old tricks like taking out cartridges and shaking them to get a few more prints (the 3am emergency ones) do not work. If you are...

hi epson c84 owners, I am willing to pay 10.00 plus shipping for a set of EMPTY c84 color cartridges - I want to use them to try the windex cleaning trick. pls anyone let me know, I can pay paypal or check. thx!! harald

Please help this technically inept person! I have a Brother MFC 7160 Multifunction Centre. When I print the first document after I have turned the computer on, I get a line of garbage printed on the top of the page and then the last line of the first page prints on a second page. The second page...

I've been pounding my head against the wall installing a Dell 5100cn color laser printer (rebranded Xerox) on my print server (win2k server). It installs fine. I can print from the server. However, I can not get it to install on client machines (win2k pro). If you print to the printer using the...

I run Windows XP SP2 and a Canon iP3000 printer. Ive noticed the following behaviour with other printers as well. In windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86 there are two subdirectories; '3' and 'canonip300082f7'. These directories appear to hold exactly the same 15mb of content. Does anyone know...
