Canon i850 cd printer adapter?
Hello all,
I recently emailed canon about this adapter that is available in Japan as the pixus 850i. Does anybody have any info on this thing? The response I got from canon was that it is not currently supported: Thank you for writing to us. Unfortunately, the Canon USA i850 does not support the direct to CDR printing adapter. Since this model does not support this feature, we do not sell this adapter. I apologize greatly for any inconvenience this may cause. Sincerely, Angela Product Support Representative What this doesn't say is if it works at all. I want to know if I import an adapter from Japan, can it be used in the american model? It doesn't look like there is anything different internally. It looks like all the gears and such are on the outside, on the adapter itself. Anyway, any and all info on this would be much appreciated by me and the many others who bought a i850. Thanks. -RandyK www.mp3.com/RandyK |

Hi
I am in the uk and have the i850 printer. I would also like to print directly to CDR media with the i850 but I have the same problem as you, I just can`t find any info on this adaptor except through the Japaneese website. I have noticed just where the paper comes out that there are recesses for adding an externat component and that the print bed is sprung to take very thick peices of media. So I am sure that these printers can handle the adaptor. But even if you could get one what about the drivers? I have e-mailed Canon european support but still waiting on a reply. Anyway if you find out any more info or where you can get them imported etc. Could you e-mail me at corsec1@ REMOVE THIS PART hotmail.com Thanks "RandyK" wrote in message om...

Thanks CorSec,
I also think the adapter will work in the printer. As for drivers, I don't think it needs them. Don't you think it would print on anything that was printable if no paper was available? Just a guess. I dunno. If I find anything out, I'll post here. It's pretty frustating, having to buy another whole printer (Epson 900) just because the adapter isn't available. I haven't bought the epson yet, but I'm thinking about it. Jugding from the lack of response, I'm surprised more people don't care about this adapter, considering how many people own the Canon i850. -RandyK www.mp3.com/RandyK |

I decided to sell my i850 and order the i865. For the small upgrade cost,
you get to stick with Canon and all its advantages, and also print to CD (unless you live in the States). "CorSec" wrote in message ... Hi I am in the uk and have the i850 printer.

Somebody!......Email me! I know it will work..... Are you SURE the printer driver will allow the i850 to feed the CD in from the front? (there are no settings for CD media) If not, the adaptor won't work. It seems to me that until someone actually tries it, we can't know for sure. For example, do we know that the CD prints from the front? That is, perhaps the tray is set up so that the CD is inserted, the tray moved to the "in" position, and then the printer activated for printing, and then prints the CD like it would a sheet of photo paper, back to front. -- Charlie Hoffpauir http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~charlieh/ If you really want to reply via email, my valid address is available on my web site. |

I would be more than willing to try it on behalf of all who want to
know. If someone could give me a connection to obtain the adapter, I will do all the necessary legwork, and post my results to this newsgroup. Thanks. -RandyK www.mp3.com/RandyK |

I've tried it in the US i950 with japanese drivers, and it wouldn't
work (firmware lockout?). You will probably be wasting your energy trying to get it to work on the i850. nine (RandyK) wrote in message . com...
