I am 76 and still riding kids bicycles.

I never owned a Canon. Is this model a good printer and easy to refill? How about head cleaning? My only concern is the lack of an Ethernet port which is what I am currently using. Any advice?

1> Refillable cartridge availability. 2> Easiest to unclog print-heads. 3> Simple to install external waste ink tank.

I am now able to print using my Brother MFC -465CN and my MFC-240C with any and all color cartridges removed from the printer! Just BLACK! This has always been my dream, to carry on with a color cartridge empty or removed. I might make a Youtube video to demonstrate. When I tried it, I...

Do all Epson inkjets deal with waste ink this way?

I thought that my Brother MFC 465CN and the MFC 240C were the best because they used the humongous LC-51 refillable cartridges that sit outside the printer. They seem to hold 100 ml of ink. Thus a CISS for $15. The printers have lasted for years, reliably fed the paper, and if the heads...

First, you can reset the purge counter to zero. Instructions are available. OK With the purge rest Brother will allow clean cycles but what if the absorber becomes full? Where will the ink go? I thought of a BBQ grill fat catching can beneath the grill. If the absorber overflow went into a...

I found that "No Black Cartridge" can be eliminated by cutting #5 wire on the 9 wire connector. If, this will stop all "low in" or missing cartridge messages, I suggest placing empty cartridges into the printer during the unwanted cleaning cycle. IOW It 'cleans' with zero ink.

I goofed! What I thought was jammed paper was really part of the printer. About 1/4" thick white stuff. I had to cut away about 20%. How important is it and can it be replaced if necessary?

Thinking about a syringe and cleaning solution method to flush a clogged print head. (Magenta!!!) If one could buy a cartridge filled with cleaner it would be a perfect fit for the fill channel. Perhaps just using the clean cycle would be sufficient. If not, pressurizing would be the next...

I have 2 MFC-465 CN printers with the extended transparent Chinese LC-51 cartridges. For years they have been 100%. Suddenly, last week, one of them failed the print test with colors. I always used a single color purge print to clear the heads. This time no success. Black and Yellow, OK...

A huge success. Working backwards, I found this LC-51 extended refillable cartridge on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130352312654&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT I placed an Wanted Ad on Craigslist and I bought a Brother MFC-440CN in perfect condition for $25. The eBay...

If you have a Brother, Canon, or Epson and the cartridges are stationary, why not refill them in place instead of removing them from the printer? Just give them a syringe/needle shot of ink once in a while.

Wow! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130352312654&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT I do not own a printer for this cartridge but it makes me want to. Which LC-51 printer would you advise? Any wireless models?

Cannon, Epson, and Brother have built in heads. Is there a portion of the head for Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow separate from the holes used for black? IOW Can you block the color heads and continue to print black? (Assuming you trick the empty color signal)

What is the print head mechanism, heat or piezo? Is the cartridge under vacuum or is it vented?

1> Avoid automatic cleaning cycles with a substitute .bat file. Print BLACK, MAGENTA, CYAN, YELLOW every 10 hours and use less ink. 2> Instead of CISS why not drill a hole in the side of the stationary cartridge (MFC Brother, Canon, etc) , drill holes in the side of your printer, attach a...
