I got several responses to my plea for help and my system is now back up and running perfectly! THANKS everyone! And, again, I apologize for the off topic thread - I just didn't know where else a bunch of Canon owners would be hanging out at! Take care everyone, Steve

Hi Smile, Thanks for the recommendation! I tried on my own for a bit but the darn virus would block access to virus help sites and it interefered with anti-virus programs . . . I tried downloading "Hi Jack This" to do a system scan and get some help for one of their forums but it wouldn't let...

Hi Guys, This is off topic I know and I apologize. There just isn't many scanner forums and I need a little help with my Canon scanner and I figured many Canon Printer owners would have a Canon scanner too. My computer got infected with a browser hi-jack virus (I hope there's a special place...

Wow! $53.50 delivered from a US company and a warranty! I don't think there's much for an excuse now! I'd order one if I didn't already have one!

Nope, that was with shipping included! :) Actually I paid $52.90 total with shipping for mine. Another forum member just ordered one and pm'd me and I think he paid slightly less than $51 - the price varies with the exchange rate. Hop back a couple pages in the messages and you'll see a link...

$69 dollars to order from Oregon, or $50 to order from Germany . . . I'd still opt for Germany!

My son's ip4200 had an original cartridge, magenta I believe, that kept giving problems - kept saying it had two magentas installed, then it couldn't find the magenta, on and on. I replaced it and the printer worked fine. I tried his cartridge in my printer and had the same problems. I tried...

That's good to hear! At what level do you refill them? i.e. do you check them often and keep them topped up, or you do wait until the liquid chamber is almost empty before refilling? Personally I've been waiting until the liquid chamber is almost empty and so far, knock on wood, I have 7...

We had the same issue with my son's ip4200 but it happened with the original cartridges. They hadn't been refilled ever. It kept complaining about the Magenta cartridge, it would detect 2 of them, or wouldn't find it, etc.. I finally pulled it and put in a refilled cartridge and did the ink...

I'm not following what the Armor cradle and cartridges actually accomplishes. Does it allow taller cartridges for more ink capacity? The one site I found had a pdf file on the Armor system but it just covered installing the cradle and then the cartridges. It seemed to say the ink level...

Hi, I have an ip4200 and I've refilled for a couple years now. I pulled out the rubber stopper ball from the original fill hole, threaded it, and installed nylon screws and o-rings as per an article here on Nifty Stuff and refilling has been a breeze. I did have to trim a little of the...

So everyone is just refilling Canon cartridges and no one is using generics?

I have 7 refills on my cartridge sets now (I have three sets that I rotate through) and so far so good, I've not had any problems using HobbiColors ink. From what I'm reading though it looks like I may want to be thinking about flushing the cartridges or risk feed problems, or just replacing...

The CLI8s run around $12-13 US around here, I haen't bought a PGI5 in a while. I would've rather paid around $25-30 US for a resetter, but for the extra $20 or so I have piece of mind that I'm not running out of ink and burning up an print head so it was worth it to me. I've been waiting on a...

I can see that, but it appeas the failure rate is low so I wouldn't worry too much about having a customer service problem - at least with the well packaged RNB unit. The Chinese company seems concerned about their customers too though as I did get a reply from Rachel thanking me for giving...
