I never use the color inks as I have a Canon iP8500 or photos and I am very disappointed that I am being nagged to replace the color cartridges. I don't mind permanently disabling color printing as all I really want is scanning and text. Is there any means of setting this up so that it only...

From another ng: What you see is what I know. Epson got nailed in a class action for bugging their printers with electronic circuitry which caused the printer to quit and claim the ink cartridge was empty when the cartridge still had plenty of ink in it. Hahaha. Does my heart good to see a...

Hello, I have 2 x printers: HP deskjet 950 & Canon pixma 750. I like to print my own Birthday & Xmas cards. However, I can't find a suitable card ie: weght/thickness. I end up with it 'struggling' to get through on my HP and anything lighter isn't firm enough for use. Anyone have a good reliable...

hi all, does anyone know how to print again if the printer says by the blinking light the toner or the drum is empty? I can't believe that the toner cartridge or the drum kit doesn't work again for a while! the toner and the drum kit is to expensive to dump it before the print quality is...

Hey, all. I'm trying to source out some Kirkland glossy photo paper. Costco's website isn't listing it, it's not at my local Costco (I'm in Canada), and I only see one listing on eBay. Anyone else got any sources for it??

Hello. For years, this old HP PhotoSmart 8450 (model Q3388A; manufactured on 8/2/2004) printer likes to physically take multiple papers at once from its included bottom black paper sheet input main tray (page #8's #4 as shown in...

Durabrite inks are one of Epson's two basic pigment ink sets. I say basic because there are numerous variations of numbers of colors, and even the surface they dry with (matte or semi-gloss or high gloss). Durabrite inks come in two sets, 4 color, which is the more common, and 6 color (used in...

What printer gives the best results? Thanks Steve

I'm currently putting together a portable video capture system for a color endoscopy camera. The client wants to be able to print good quality (as near as photo quality as reasonably possible) frame captures on paper along with a black text letterhead and some descriptive comments about the...

Hello, I just want to add my own experience with my new Epson 830. I haven't printed for two weeks on this printer as I've been printing tons black text on the laser instead. Last night, I started the printer to test for clogging and also to print a party group photo. First, as usual, the printer...

Hi, I have found an old QMS 1060e printer. It's printing good with the XP driver, but when I try to print PDF files, I get Postscript error concerning 'rangecheck'. I tried with level 2 or level 1 postscript but get the same error. Which other driver could I use ? Thanks

Any hints or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Had stored printer for about 5 months and reactivated. Photos on glossy paper comming out excessively magenta, cannot correct in drivers. Have cleaned heads, and reinstalled drivers I have used Neil Slades Purging Pattern 6. Prints well in plain...

anyone know how to print white colors on transparents? (Decalsheets or Overheadsheets) I know there HAVE BEEN printers that could, but they are out of production, and I can only rely on current technology due to availability of spares, service and consumables. thanks, D.

Hi everyone, Who offers the best Canon ink refill in the UK please? Best meaning overall colour match and price for both bulk ink and cartridges. Regards, John.

Where can I get ink for my new Canon Pixima ip 4200 that is the same as the canon ink? I have shifted from HPs and love the canon. Much better printer. I have heard good things about MIS ink but did not see the 4200 on their site, only the 4000. GA --

I have an uncle who owns a Epson C60 inkjet printer. It's about 4 years old and has never produced good print quality. This is really frustrating considering how much money he has spent on the ink cartridges. As his computer "advisor", I have tinkered with the printer's maintenance programs to...

I have a low-end Epson printer. I have completely used up all colour ink and now there's a red "X" over the ink level picture in the PrinterPreferences. I'd like to keep this printer for printing text docs as there is about 30% black ink still left. I want to know if there is a way to continue...

Since posting I am grateful for the help and have now managed to find one or two helpful sales people - face to face - and 'end users' who have shared their experiences. If I want to print a page mostly photos I hear it will take as long on laser as an inkjet unless I spend a lot of...

My Epson Artisan835 AIO can do batch scans from printer to PC. At one time I had the printer connected via USB, and it worked just fine. Now I have the printer connected over the router (network). I don't see a way to do said scans from AIO to PC. The printer only shows USB as the path I must...
