    Best new All-In-One printers to buy? Brother or Canon? Which models?

    I ended up buying a Brother brother MFCJ265W AIO with fax too on sale new for $50, normally $100. Havent used it much, but no problems so far other than it will turn itself on in the middle of the night to do something, not sure what. It sounds like its doing a cleaning or maintenance cycle...

    How to send a printer, how to ship a printer, what is the best way?

    Shouldn't this question be a sticky? I have a Canon Pixma IP6000D I need to send someone in the mail. I do not have the original box. I do not intend to ship the 6 ink cartridges. I looked on this site and Canons site for guidance on this but couldn't locate instructions on how to pack it...

    SERVICE MANUALS LINKS - post here -Compliments of PeterBJ

    Websnail. Please educate us. No one should open a PDF? How does one know if its safe or not? Can you give us some links to support your warning? Based on what I read and re-posted above, opening a PDF with Acrobat reader is safe. If we are posting links to PDF's then saying they are a...

    According to these links, using Acrobrat reader, which reads only, PDF files are safe. http://news.cnet.com/New-virus-travels-in-PDF-files/2100-1001_3-271267.html Fortunately, those who are simply viewing a PDF, or Portable Document Format, file aren't vulnerable. The virus spreads only by...

    Canon Pixma IP3000 troubleshooting - 12 alternating green/orange flash

    Thanks so much for the compatibility tip! Today I visited 5-6 thrift stores. Most of the electronics appeared to be junk and labeled, "as is." Mostly HPs and Epson as far as printer brands I saw.

    http://service-manual.eu/model.php?id=3186 OR http://www.opweb.de/model.php?id=3189 I think both links go to the same 2 PDF Service Supplements It's best to view the PDF, because easier to read and with pictures. Please do not post copyrighted material

    Canon Pixma IP3000 troubleshooting - 12 alternating green/orange flash

    The Hat, If I could get it for far less than $57, like FREE, then its possible. I did get 2 Canon Pixma IP6000D printers for free, off freecycle, which is in most major cities in the USA. Ive gotten one of them to work so far. However the printheads are different sizes 6000d vs 3000 so I...

    Canon Pixma IP3000 troubleshooting - 12 alternating green/orange flash

    Its become a psychological quest now, and yes, perhaps it would be smarter and easier to give up. I am not ready to concede defeat in man vs printer though as Ive come so far and overcome so many error messages. If nothing else, others in the future could read this thread and find ways to fix...

    Is there a place within this site to post service manuals?

    I offer my recommendation, not a judgment. My intentions are to help improve the site's usefulness. It's a fantastic site with many responsive and helpful people. The courts have previously ruled that a site is not responsible for what its owners post, because they cannot be expected to...
