The Hat; it's been a while, but I don't suppose you whipped out the print head of your ix4000 and stuck it in a drawer somewhere, lest some poor soul require it in the future? Worth a try!

It's true that the i9900 is the same as the i9950 in all respects except for this latch on the left, which alters the height of the paper output tray down by 10mm or so, I assumed for for printing CD's, although I never used the feature (I think there must be some copyright reason that the US...

Beaniecheese, I have just posted on the thread that Grandad linked above: "the i9950 differs from US i9900 in that it has CD printing, which requires dropping the whole front of the paper carriage down to accommodate the CD carrier, using a large lever on the left. The bracket through which...

A bit late joining this discussion, but I think that the i9950 differs from the US i9900 in that it has CD printing, which requires dropping the whole front of the paper carriage down to accommodate the CD carrier, using a large lever on the left. The bracket through which this lever actuates...

Well things turned out better than I'd expected: Paypal refunded all the money, minus the postage fee to return the printer to the seller. My Paypal details suggest that the seller refunded the money, so I think he folded in the end... So I might buy a secondhand printer again on Ebay; but I...

The seller has, after some provarication, stated that he won't refund the money (he said the shipping insurance would only cover 50); so it's now become a dispute through Paypal, which will drag on for 30 days or so it seems. I might even point the Paypal adjudicators to this thread! Thanks for...

Thanks for your replies guys; after a reasonably positive response from the seller, things have gone a little quiet.... I'll let you know the outcome (It can't be 'escalated' to a case with the 'Paypal Resolution Centre' untill ten days after purchase anyway). I paid using Paypal, which offers...

You may be right ghwellsjr, but I shall hold fire judging the seller until after I contact him to suggest I return the printer! I have re-checked connections and everything over the weekend, but still no joy. After this experience I will not be buying used printers off Ebay again, unless they...

Here is the item; hope this links directly... but if not, it is Ebay item No. 170406997113

Thanks for the replies. I have checked the printhead, and there is no ink leakage in, around, or behind the head, where all the contacts reside (I have cleaned these anyway, but no improvement). The logic board is similarly clean, all connectors secure. So no clue as to whether the printhead or...

Just bought an S9000 on Ebay; the seller showed a decent nozzlecheck on the listing, but now it's arrived the nozzlecheck is showing a regular 'battlement' error pattern on black and yellow (see below). I think this has been mentioned before as a possible electrical problem; is it normally the...

Finally got some time to have another look at this; I managed to get a full and complete nozzle check on the black station, but using the magenta cart; however at the same time the red check pattern was contaminated with the magenta! I then did a purge check, using water filled lengths of tube...

Thanks for the prompt replies: Fortisi876, the purge pipes as I described them, are the small black tubes which connect the purge pads to the pump. You have to remove the covers and unscrew and lift the chassis to gain access. Embguy: After reconnecting the purge pipe, I have flushed the...

Hope someone can help with a problem on my i9950, which is driving me to distraction! I started getting slightly wayward printing with a few stripes on photo magenta, and intermittent problems on other colours. Normal cleaning didn't seem to help, neither did cleaning the head, so I surmised...

The first thing I did was recheck the test prints using the original profiles against Pharmacists UW-8 profiles with the clean carts, just in case there had been some long term leakage problem, and the results still showed the same green cast with the original profiles. To be fair to the...
