My Canon MG3222, a low-end printer with 16000 pages showing, developed Ink Absorber Almost Full. The manual says "Press the machine's Black or Color button to continue." It works. I've been doing it that way for months. I'm supposed to get a mess by doing it, but so far no mess. I just...

As so many have advised, I kept the original OEM carts, so when I sent my Canon in for warranty replacement recently due to a fatal printhead error report, I just put those originals back in. Those originals were all empty. Canon sent me a full set of carts with the new machine. I have yet...

Having purchased a 5-cart Canon MX722 nearly a year ago and print 10-14,000 sheets/year, the Cyan won't print right. I am using an aftermarket cartridge system that has been very successful until recently, when it has become evident that the cart foams and therefore probably dries the...

How to Run Canon ADF from Word Once you have it set up: 1. Load paper in auto duplex feeder. 2. In Word, type Alt I, Alt P, then (just) S. 3. Scan box opens, select "Custom Insert." 4. ScanGear opens. Press "Scan." 5. Done. Very simple. Paper scans on printer, images load in Word. The...

For those who have been following this, I have been working on a permanent printer solution with precisioncolors.com on the side and have come up with this solution: Precisioncolors.com has a high quality aftermarket set of cartridges that are economical, refillable, and have a resetter chip...

I have an email on the way to him right now. Yes, the page reports might be off, but I have to work from a target. If that fails, I'll just adjust the target. So far I put in about 12 cc one time and about 4 cc another time. So, the 12 cc says I had better not go longer than that.

Difficult decision. One thing that our discussions have brought out to me is the need to refill before cartridges run out. The chips have always been proposed, but that means moving elsewhere, usually to refurbs, which is a negative to me. It looks like there is no future for chip resetting...

The Pixma MG 5220 is generally not being sold anymore. Where it is, they want $250 for it. Precisioncolor does show the resetter for this model but not the current model. It is the latest version of that printer, the Pixma Mg 5520, that Precisioncolor says will not work with the resetter...

All right, Turbguy, if I use the Samsung lead of Stratman, I can get 3000 pages of toner plus chip (what do I need that for?) for a year at $130 instead of $152 and up. In the meantime I'm going to try The Hat's idea of using black in in the color cartridge I basically aren't using. That will...

Thank you all for the very good suggestions. Let me discuss them. I’ll try to cover all the bases, but I’m sure I’m going to miss one. Less just start with the money. My estimated annual cost for my present situation not counting the cost of the printer, modified as described in my last post...

Stratman, that is one of the most useful, complete replies I have ever received in a forum. Thank you so much. I'll reply in a way that you can correct me if I have overlooked something or am thinking about it wrongly. Let me start with my conclusion to date, meaning I'm open. I learned that...

I am JJStewart, new to PrinterKnowledge. I have worked with computers in all capacities since 1972 until 1999, but here I am just an end-user, just like everyone else. My need to get really involved with printers is that for several years I have been in the addictive recovery ministry...
