A regulated ac adapter is a over kill, just get a 3-aaa battery holder.

For those new carts with chips, I know we can disable the monitoring to continue to use them. I don't care about ink level report, but will I still get a warning message when the tank is empty? We know that there is a prism in the Canon tank for empty detection, this has nothing to do with the...

I have a red resetter for Canon PGI-5 and CLI-8 carts. Recently it no longer work, red light never come on. The problem is the push-down plastic (black) which is supposed to push a power switch inside. Somehow after several months this plastic can no longer push the switch all way down. The fix...

Everyone here loves the German way of refilling, the only problem is to find a long needle. I bought accidentally this refill ink in a Dollar Tree store and it comes with a super long 60 mm needle (the metal part, or 80 mm the entire length)! The needle actually has a sharp tip but mounted the...

Read InkWiz's story, I sincerely suggest Canon to sell resetters. For those who do not refill, it does not matter, they still won't refill even if a resetter is available, so no any loss to Canon; but for those who do, they'll buy resetters from Canon and save Canon all the troubles and send...

Just saw the airlink wifi printer server is once again on sale for $19.99 in Fry's: http://newspaperads.mercurynews.com/ROP/ads.aspx?adid=6937392&advid=32664&type= This is a must for printers that does not have WiFi built in. With it you can access the printer/scanner/fax over wifi in exactly...

I suggested www.mals-e.com to Dave. This shopping cart system is absolutely the very best and it is free. It is very flexible and meanwhile the easiest to set up. No any programming needed, just add a buy button image with a simple link. I hope Dave will consider this and all of us will be...

Did you try head alignment?

Yes that's the print head. You don't have to have air bottle, you can use your mouth to blow to check if the clog is removed. To dry up the head, you can throw it as hard as you can (just don't throw it out!), then use an electrical fan or a hairdryer (don't use hot air). There is only one...

Believe me: buy a redsetter for $54 and refill with the German method. Don't bother with other stuff.

Take the print head out and wash it thoroughly in a sank with warm tap water until compressed air can go through all the colors. The air bottle is about $5. Before you bought the Canon carts, you should have used the money to buy a redsetter. Refill yourself with the german method, as you...

I have a MP600 which is almost identical to MP610. Compared to MP5xx, MP600 is noticeably bigger and taller, but it adds these features: 1) CD printing. You need to get/make a CD tray and enable this feature in service mode. 2) Automatic duplex. It prints one side, then pull the page back into...

Their website is: http://www.airlink101.com. If you are in USA, Fry's Electronics (http://www.outpost.com) usually carry almost all airlink products, where I bought my WiFi PS for only $18 on sale (usually $70). There is also an Ethernet version for about $30.

My son's printer stopped working this morning, so I went to a junk store (GoodWill) and found a Canon S530D for few dollars. When I got home to test it, there was absolutely no black while colors were fine. First I put the head into 91% rubbing alcohol as suggested by some websites, and used...

I'm looking for an ip4200 for my son as a back up (just bought a resetter) or alike that use CLI8 carts. If you guys know where I can find one (especially local, such as BestBuy, CircuitCity, OfficeMax etc.), please post. Update: got an old Canon S530D from a junk store for few dollars. It is...

If you need WiFi, get an Airlink wifi printer server, you can use it with any printer/scanner/fax you have. The driver is perfect, using exactly the same virtual USB port of Canon driver. I've been using it with my MP600 and I'm extremely happy. The printer appears like a true USB printer, so...

Yes, majority consumers ARE stupid and they don't have (or want to spend) the time to study these forums and refill.

If I don't refill and buy Canon carts, it cost more than $53 just for one replacement of all the 5 carts, so it is well worth it as you get the money back within a year. The hardware piece of course does not cost $53 to build. With this resetter, I no long have the chance to run out ink in the...

I used the Ink Station to refill an old HP and Canon, which use the 3-in-1 carts, not the PGI5 and CLI8 used in my new Canon MP600. I love MP600 so much that I don't want to mess it up, so I bough some Hobbicolors ink for it and won't use untested ink such as the Ink Station. BTW, the...

Does shaking generate bubbles which I think not a good thing?
