You guys are really amazing! When I get a chance I will give it a try.... just for the fun of it.

You are correct. The error code is B200.

FWIW, I ordered a refurbished Brother MFC-8810DW Mono Laser All-In-One from Staples for $169.99 plus tax with free shipping; the deal is good until this Friday. While trying to print the receipt I got an error message from the Canon MG5320, so I guess that it is now officially expired. I don't...

I understand. I appreciate all the help.

That's exactly what I will probably wind up with....or just the monochrome laser printer. I am using fewer and fewer CD/DVD's these days in favor of USB flash drives and SD cards. As for photos, well... the grandkids don't come around nearly as much these days and there's always Walmart! ;-)...

I looked at the MX922 but ruled it out because it does not, as I understand it, have a second or rear paper path. It has a main(lower) paper cassette for large paper(i.e. letter size or 8x10 or envelopes) and a secondary(upper) cassette(same paper path) for small paper(4x6 or 5x7 only). So...

That's what I was afraid of. It was just like a "switch was thrown." The problem now is finding a printer with the features I need that can be refilled. Canon seems to have abandoned the rear paper tray, which I use almost daily. I am looking right now at going over to the "dark side" and...

Actually, I got the article from the web and pasted it into a blank Word document... which I then printed; sorry for the misstatement.

I am not quite sure about posting images, but here goes.... This is the last Nozzle Check: This is the page that was printing at the time everything "went south": I am using OEM PGI-225/CLI-226 cartridges that I refill with Hobbicolors inks(since 2007) using the German method and a scale...

My MG5320 has been working great for about 18 months. It was printing a text article from the web yesterday when, about three inches down the page, it began to print no color and only about 40-50% of the pigment black text. By that I mean that the letters of text are perfectly formed, and very...

I was using machine screws with O-rings!

Their prices seem to be VERY competitive. Would I be correct to infer that you think Image Specialists Inks are superior to Hobbicolors? If so, in what way(s)? I see that Precision Colors has what seems like a good price on their CLI-226 chip resetter($14.88) and a nice choice of Canon OEM...

I have been using Hobbicolors since 2007 and have had no problems that I can attribute to the ink; however, recently they changed some of their formulations and I'm not entirely sure that the colors are what they were. So.... since I am starting anew with a different printer and cartridges, I...

Thanks, The Hat, for the helpful information. I really appreciate it. I am under the gun to get tax returns filed and can't get the MG8220 here in time, so I am going down to Walmart this afternoon to pick up the MG5320; I may still go ahead and order the MG8220 and have the MG5320 as a...

My MX850 has developed serious problems that may or may not be fixable, but I need a working printer ASAP. I have been refilling the CLI-8 and PGI-5 cartridges since my old IP4300. I know things have changed a lot and I need to do a bunch of research, but I don't have much time to get...

Thanks! The new head should arrive Monday or Tuesday. Regarding inks from Precision Colors, which pigment black would you suggest... the regular Canon Compatible PGI-5 Ink or the Canon Compatible Ultra Black Pigment Ink? I have read on this site where some seem to prefer the later. Also...

I did as you suggested and blotted the bottom of the head. There was considerable black ink in various places on the bottom, though I didn't notice any yellow. Perhaps it was from all the cleaning cycles? Anyway, here is another nozzle check: If you missed it in my previous posts, is...

(bump?)

I don't know if this will be very usesul or not, but here is an image of the last nozzle check: Hey, that turned out better than I thought it would! :) The CLI-8bk shows up as more streaked in this scan than it appears on paper. Also, all the colors in the scanned image are darker than...

Yes, I can just barely see the two purge pads. Is there a safe/easy way to disconnect the "lid" so as to be able to raise it up higher so as to gain better access? With my arthritis, I'm not at all certain I can get to the purge pads, otherwise.
