    Refilling a Canon i865 with a little help of....my friends

    Foto, don't actually recall where I purchased the plugs. I've only bought ink from MIS and I had all the other stuff needed to refill. In the back of my mind I seem to remember getting these plugs from somewhere else than MIS. The plugs I have are green, large,flat, mushroom head, no tab...

    Refilling a Canon i865 with a little help of....my friends

    Just to reinforce Foto's comments, all good answers. We both use the same ink and paper. As for cloging, was away from home for a few days, 5, and when printing yesterday, results were same as if it had only been a few mins since last used. Even did a couple photos and nary a flaw in the...

    Canon IP4000 Network Problems

    I don't run XP, still using W98 that suits my needs. Have the printer set-up without a server, just sharing it from the principal computer to the networked computer(s). I have the printer drivers also installed on the second computer. I don't experience any delays or other problems. Wonder...

    Sealing the refill hole BCI-6 BCI-3

    Good observations Grandad. From pic I wonder how much seating pressure you are exerting on the Oring? I would also guess you are using a pan head screw which don't have a very large dia head. You need to make sure that the head is larger dia than "peak" dia of Oring or otherwise as you...

    Canon's New Printer

    I wonder if this is the first of a new family of printers? And why the 4xxx series Vs the 5xxx or 6xxx? Thanks for the heads up.

    Hi from a newbie

    Being a newbie here I made a bad assumption that this doc was know to the forum. I think my assumption was drawn by fact that the forum and thread where I found it had a post or two from Granddad35. Hope you don't mind me giving the forum and thread where I found the guide info as it does have...

    Hi from a newbie

    Since I posted yesterday I've done a lot of work on getting the colors & instensity right. Had a setting (both PSE & printer) that was a lot better than what EPP dishes up. Then I found another forum on Canon products and found mention of the Canon ICC profile guide. From this I made a nother...

    Hi from a newbie

    Thanks guys for the nice response. Didn't get a confirmation if Foto is Burt but assume that he is. I also have and use PSE and used it almost exclusively until recently when I stared using Canon's easy print which I find does a great job for me on "snap shot" type prints. You can do better...

    Hi from a newbie

    Greeting from a newbie. Have been lurking in the background for a while and thought I might as well register and say Hi. Was referred here by Burt on the printer newsgroup. Wonder if FotoFreek = Burt? Yes? I use a Canon i860 printer with MIS bulk inks and Costco's house brand "Kirkland"...
