I can't talk about Plextor or others, but I note that Lite-On claims that their drives are exceptionally good with unbalanced disks. I have a hunch that they're right. The price is nice and low. No longer seeing any reason to buy the best professional brand, for my last two burner ...

www.bonq.com awesome! i wish i could do that to my computer and printers some days.

Hi, I had decided upon buying a Canon PIXMA ip4200, but then discovered that Canon had (as of this month, UK) introduced the PIXMA ip4300. I found only one user-comparative reference to these printers (along with the ip5200) that was helpful, which said that the only difference between the three...

I had looked on the UK Canon web site and done a side-by-side comparison of the ip4200, ip4300 and ip5200, but there seemed to be no difference between the ip4200 and ip4300 except for a couple of minor things like slightly increased printing speed on the ip4300 and the ip4300 can't print...

In June 2005, I raised the matter of Epson's infamous negation of recycling with regard to the photoconductor unit in the C900, C1900 Laser series. Nobody seemed to know how to reset the unit. Well, the spirit of magna carta is not dead. Some bright spark has cracked it and is selling his...

I apologize for taking so long to bring this up, but it was tucked into the back recesses of my mind when I started frequenting this newsgroup, and didn't come back until a day or so ago. In late January 2004 I ordered a set of "remanufactured" ink cartridges and a set of Inktec refill kits for...

Hi, We are using a progress application to print reports on a couple of HP Laserjet 5 si printers. These reports are not just straight forward reports; some pages are printed on blank paper, some on preprinted paper. In the application PCL codes are used to tell the printer which tray it must use...

A lot has been said on this already but the two claims made against refills are that they fade and lead to clogged heads. Lets say you believe that for a moment... Most people do two types of printing.... 1) Letters and other text documents that need only last for a short time. 2) Photos and...

What _are_ the differences between the ip4200 and ip4300? What is, in actual use, the ip4300 like compared to the ip4200? Thanks, in advance, for any help You know, the printers are too new to trully have any useful opinions out yet. But yes, the ip4200 was abandoned... and it looks...

I have a user that I help out with computer issues and she states her printer randomly doesnt print. She has a DELL A920 All In One and running Windows XP Home. Here is what happens: 1) When printing - often in WordPerfect - the print job seems to be received because the Dell software print...

Spent a flipping evening trying to resolve a incorrect colour problem on my ip5000. Yes, yes yes I changed the Magenta OEM tank, but the red's came out a browny red, all the other colours was more or less ok, so in went a fresh Magenta tank, a couple of flushes later... "this will do it I said",...

Is this group still working? Haven't had anything new for at least 2 days.

Spent a flipping evening trying to resolve an incorrect colour problem with my ip5000. Yes, yes yes I did use Canon OEM ink when I changed the Magenta tank, the reds came out a peculier browny red... I only noted this after about a week when I came to print a graphic, anything that used magenta...

I'm pretty pleased with my Canon ip4200, apart from the price of consumables. I just got my first "ink is running low" message, for the cyan cartridge, and I have purchased a replacement. I want to get all the usable ink out of the cartridge, if that won't do ant harm to the print head. My question...

I just got a HP f300 all in one and installed it on a windows XP computer. I am trying share it with a windows 98se. I have installed the software on the 98 computer but I can't get it to show a printer on the computer. I had a canon shared and I have uninstalled all the software. Any...

Can some one tell me how to remove this stupid icon from my desktop??I shall be for ever grateful

I'm considering buying an HP Photosmart Pro B9180 printer. I've read a few reviews and the manual but I would like an opinion from a user. To me this printer appears to good to be true. Also the spec says that it can print on hard media up to 1.5mm thick but can it print on a DVD? Beemer
