A question; I have a printer at work (HP 6980 inkjet, they won't give me a colour laser..!) that is at present connected directly to my PC via USB. Due to the networking system we have installed (Citrix) I can't print to this printer from networked applications as it is a virtual desktop and...

I'm looking for the highest quality paper for some 8.5 x 11 4-color posters, but I can't find what types and weights of paper it will print on well. One review said that I does not print well on glossy paper (which is what I'd like, but how many types of glossy are out there?!), leaving white...

I’m looking into buying a Laser printer with the duplex option, however, the three I’ve looked at (Samsung ML-3051ND, Brother HL-5250DN & HP P2015D) all have a paper tray on the back. Is this the duplex output tray or a temporary tray used during the duplex function? It makes a big difference...

Hi I have an Epson DX4050 MFP (also known as a DX4000) and have been using generic Inkrite cartridges rather than Epson's own ones. The time has come to clean the print heads, but the software refuses because I'm not using Genuine Epson ink cartridges. Ignoring the fact that this seems a bit...

*** please note- I am NOT selling anything *** If you are not a professional that can afford to buy all original ink cartridges, than read this post carefully. I use a continuous ink system on one of my printers, and refillable cartridges for the others. The continuous ink system is a series...

I am moving a 4500 dn laser to another network. Since they use a different address scheme (We use 10.0.0.x and they use something else) what do I need to do to access the printers embeded web server prior to moving it? Thanks chaz

I have been ordering ink cartridges from Cartridge Factory for some time. However, my latest order hasn't arrived and e-mails are being ignored and telephone is on an answer service saying you are in a queue. Order from them at your peril http://www.cartridge-factory.co.uk

I have a printer that uses HP11 cartridges. I also have some HP10 cartridges (unused). It's made me wonder if the ink formulations will be the same and if I can swap the HP10 ink into an empty HP11 housing? Anyone done this? I'd give it a go, but I thought I'd ask first, particularly if...

Just wanted to let you all know, I ordered a CD printing tray off Ebay (got it the day I expected it to be shipped!), followed all the instructions included with it and had NO problem making perfect CD labels on my US spec iP4300. Strange that Canon doesn't include that tray on US spec...

Can someone please recommend an older/used printer for some friends who have a small cosmetics manufacturing business and want to start printing their labels themselves. Current labels are non self adhesive, water resistant printed (overcoated?), sizes from 2" X 2" to 4" X 8" , most have small,...

I use an hp 1220c wide format printer to print heavy ink deposits on transparancies. I have used to forever and have not had any problems. I use the option in preferences to choose the heavier ink deposit. I always buy generic refills at staples and they always work fine. They no longer sell them...

Paper going through this printer occasionally comes out a bit wrinkled. Maybe one sheet in 10 or 15. Anybody know why? Thanx Ron

My IP 4200 Cannon printer shows both black cartridges CLI 5 & CLI8 as being empty although both are still 3/4 full. The black is hardly ever used because i only use this printer for color photos. What can i do ? -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

Is there anybody out there who knows if pigment ought to work in a die printer ? I'm in all sorts of trouble. At the outset I wanted to avoid the many cleaning cycles when I refilled my cartridges so I bought a continues ink system and at the same time I changed to pigment ink to avoid fading...

HP Laserjet 1020, connected to a WinXP Pro host. Current drivers. Attempts to connect with a Vista computer yields: "Windows cannot connect to the printer. The specified print monitor in unknown." Works fine with all my other computers... HP's website is worthless.

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between an HP C4180 and the HP C4150, other than the fact that one comes with an HP95 color cartridge and the other with an HP93 color cartridge? Both recommend the HP 98 black cartridge. The 4180 says that it may use an HP95 and an HP99 Photo...
