Because of problems with Canon i950, I bought a Canon ip4000 this afternoon. What I noticed was the differences in numbers of ink carts. Six ink carts were used for i950, but only 5 carts for ip4000. Two black carts BCL-6BK and BCL-3eBK must be installed for ip4000. I am confused...

Someone suggested that I use a 5% solution of isopropyl alcohol introduced into my printing ink (distilled water + dye) as a way of preventing clogging of inkjets. I don't have any alcohol, but I do have the clear Windolene. I was wondering if a 5% solution of this intoduced would help...

Grayscale? HP 4P Postscript? I'd like to print "half-decent" grayscale images without spending a lot of (any) money. My HP-4L ain't cutting it. I have it in my head that any postscript printer can print true grayscale, not to be confused with dithering/halftoning/ screening. I mean actually...

I have been told - 1 that there are only 3 companies which manufacture printers; Canon, Epson and HP. 2 All other brands are rebadged versions. Is this true ?

Trying to convince myself for the umpteenth time that my investment in a Canon printer was not a big mistake I just created a set of prints using Canon's canned profiles and custom printer/paper profiles generated using a Monaco system for the Canon printer using Canon ink and Canon Photo...

I just bought a Netgear WGPS606 wireless print server to connect my USB Canon BJC-8200 printer. It works fine. I could see and print to the printer over wireless but the big problem is that there is no printer status information returned (paper out, ink empty etc...). This same printer works fine...

Hello: Does anyone know of a detailed instruction on how to troubleshoot the sharing of this printer? I have a laptop (HP Pavilion dv 1000) connected wirelessly to a Dell desktop. The laptop can access the internet well, but I have not been able to share the printer, which is connected to the...

A friend gave me an HP LaserJet 5M with an unopened box of toner. I connected the printer and set it up using XP's Add Printer. But although the printer makes noises like it's getting itself ready, it doesn't print and the display on the printer is blank, yes, blank. Is it junk? Is there anything I...

On our HP LaserJet 2100 lately . . . Multiple sheets are sometimes picked up simultaneously in the MultiPurpose tray (the manual feed tray), wasting papers, and more severely impacting 2nd side prints in two-sided print operations. Are certain rollers cleanable to fix the situation? Might we...

I am on a home office network, and have been unable to use my printer. The printers are connected to the internet by a small print server, since none of them are network ready by default. I can tell the printer to print, and it will put a page through, but nothing is printed, as if the printer has...

I seem to have a problem when I try to copy documents on the flat bed scanner on my printer. The scanner doesn't move but there's noise coming from the ADF(there's always noise coming from it when I try to scan,copy). The same thing even happens when the computer is switched off. I also get the...

My HP Laserjet 1012 isn't measuring it's printing positions very precisely. The entire page is printed about 2 mm too high. My default paper size is A4. I'm using a template in Word that prints a letter, which I fold down to 9.9 cm (exactly 1/3rd of an A4-size paper) to fit in a DL-size envelope....

I still use a Laserjet III which has been reliable and has done a good job. However, lately I have had a problem seating the paper tray. I have to jiggle it to get a connection. Someone suggested the problem was in one of the circuit boards. Any suggestions on which board and how to replace it?

There are 8 colo inks in HP 7960 and use PhotoREt Pro to reach 72.9M colors. And they claim there are 289 levels of shapes of color. How is the number come from??

I am using Windows me. I went to settings and pushed on Add and remove programs. I tried reinstalling from disk and got message there is newer software and wouldn't install.

Hi everyone.. Need your help. The ink in my epson C80 was having gaps in black lines and black ink was almost empty, at 5% (according to driver). The ink empty light wasn't on, but I decided to replace it earlier. I pushed the ink button to move the cartridges in place, took out the old...

I'm talking from my experience with a the laserjet 1012. First they brought the cartridge size down from 2500-3000 pages to 2000... this is if it really prints 2000 pages. Then, they provide drivers that /almost/ work: with server OSes -- Linux, OS X and even Windows server, it seems -- you need...
