Sorry I didn't provide more info...I'm running Win8.1. I didn't have to fool with admin rights for the other two batch files/scheduled tasks. They run perfectly and on schedule. Can't figure out why I'm running into issues with the Pro-100. And I tend to agree with your conclusion, @palombian...

Has anyone got this to work with a PRO-100? I successfully followed the procedure outlined here with my MP780 and iP8500, but the batch file I created for the PRO-100 using the same proven process won't respond. Could it have anything to do with a conflict with the two drivers (I used the XPS...

Closing the loop on this one... After determining that Canon discontinued the QY6-0049 print head around 2011 and that reputable USA sellers were having no luck finding GENUINE stock, I rolled the dice and risked my one-and-only brand new GENUINE Canon print head from my factory-refurbished...

The MP 780 is a BCI-6 (chipless cartridge) machine. The "Cartridge" referred to in the "Wrong Cartridge" error message is actually the print head, not an ink tank...at least that's the conclusion I reached when I searched the error message on this forum. I've got a service manual around here...

Printhead started leaving lighter stripes indicating one bank of cyan nozzles went out. Ordered new printhead (supposedly OEM but from Hong Kong) on eBay. Packaging looked legit. Put it in, ran alignment, nozzle check was sat...two days later got "Wrong Cartridge" error. Removed and replaced...

Any PRO-100 owners come up with a source for a service manual yet? Inquiring minds (mine,at least) would still like to know the automatic head cleaning scheme. The Hat, you mentioned availability for a price. Do you have a link? I'm coming up blank no matter what search terms I use.

Thanks, stratman and PeterBJ. I purchased two PRO-100"s a month ago from Adorama and wish I printed enough volume to justify grabbing more now that they've dropped to $34. Two heads, two sets of ink for $196...score! Wish I had done that with my iP8500 because I really loved that machine, so...

That's certainly more than I paid for my iP8500 manual, but it still might make for a good read. I'd really like to know the actual technical specifications for when a cleaning cycle is called for by the firmware. I'll keep searching for a source...a quick search didn't produce one for sale...

Thanks, The Hat. Yes, I've got it set up to, from a power off condition, power on when the MIS Autoprint task is triggered and run a purge print then power off after 15 minutes. Per the Service Manual, my iP8500 would initiate a normal cleaning cycle before beginning a print task when "120 to...

Isn't that a confusing title? My trusty iP8500 recently died so I jumped on the Adorama deal for a couple of PRO-100's at $98 each...yes, I just saw the price drop to $34 :hit. I had my 8500 and MP780 on an MIS Autoprint schedule to print every 48 hours, the common wisdom (gained here years...

Thanx. I've lurked there when faced with computer hardware/scanner/photo-related software decisions.

Joe, Links for those "other forums" (why, I didn't know there was another forum!)? I just ordered a Pro 100 to replace my trusty iP8500 which probably needs a new printhead so I'm looking for a couple of sets of CLI-42's and for a home for my collection of spare (unflushed) BCI-6's.

Rick Wallin at Sensient says he will sell direct. Smallest quantity package in any individual color is 1 liter, but even if you can't use it all before it "goes bad" (don't know how one would really tell) the price per litre is $15-20 (as I recall)...not much more than one OEM cart. Here is a...

Sorry if I appeared to indicate the reason for selling the business was contained in the link. It most definitely is not. What I did state was that I didn't feel it was my right to discuss it. The link was provided as a starting point from whch to pursue a new vendor. I placed a call to...

As I said, I had a very long and pleasant conversation with the owner of alotofthings. I like to talk, and so does he. He provided a vast amount of information, little of which I feel is my right to share in a public forum. Suffice it to say that IMHO his motives for selling off the...
