Just wanted to post the latest news on my problem: I have no more problems :) Printing is great. I really thought that my PH was totally screwed, but after a good clean and a new cyan cart, things are printing great, day after day after day Thanks everyone for your advice

Final update: About 1 week later and all is working fine. If only I had known the fix was so simple. Thanks for all the help.

Trigger 37 - a sincere thank you for your advice. I followed the instructions from step 1 -8, then tried using the ADF and it worked!!! However, it has intermittently worked in the past, only to become a problem a fw days later, so I wont get too excited yet. I just want to clarify a few...

Some quick feedback. I gave the PH a thorough clean: Flush with water, then windex with ammonia, then water Blew out with air, then flushed with IPA, then air dried. Result: Blue still not printing consistently. Then: Bought a Canon Cyan cart; Clean - alignment very poor Deep clean (pity...

Hi all, Apologise if I seem pushy, but since there has been limited response to this post, does it mean that there is little experience with adf repairs? Can one buy an adf anywhere and what would be the ballpark price?

I think I will order some new OEM cartridges. Then if that solves the problem (i.e. I know it was the cartridge and not the print head), I will try the durchstichmethod for future refills. Should I try anything else before purchasing new cartridges (I have to admit, I'm still not 100% sure that...

I'm using blue plugs which I thought were sealing OK. Would tape be better?

Do you know which part does the sensing i.e. where is it located? Any advice for how to fix it?

Im going to apologize up front for the length of this email and the many questions. There is a lot of info on this website. I have tried most tips, but I have still been unsuccessful. Before I spend money on replacement parts or ditch the printer, I would like to know if anyone could pin down...

My ADF is not working properly. When try to copy a page (pages) using the ADF, frequently the printed page begins printing halfway down i.e. the top half is blank and the bottom half is "cut-off" - it then gives me a "paper too long" error. Also, when when the paper cartridge is empty, and I...

Thanks for the information. Do you know if these suppliers use the G&G carts or their own? By the way, I previously used Metawatch (service was good but I did get some leaky carts), and blankdvdmedia (price was good but LOTS of leaky carts). Have you had any experience with their ink?

I'm looking for a G&G or other good quality non-OEM cartridge in Canada for a Canon PIXMA MP780 rinter which uses the BCI-6 and BCI-e3 type cart. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
