    canon 200 ink just made me very sick.

    So, long time canon 100 user here, just decided it was time to surrender. It has been rejuvenated 3 times and this last go around I gave in. Putting her down, I just picked up a new 200 pro. And yes I'm one of those that never pay for OEM ink, I just do not see the difference and $80 compare to...

    make a canon service tool

    Hi all, I have been a canon printer owner for a long time, my pro 100 seems to like to eat boards, so I learned a lot about them. Once thing i learned is that there is a tool you need for some basic operation. I noticed a few things. 1) they are all done via a key gen lic. file. 2) they all...

    Canon pro 100 11 blinks on power up horrible noice .

    Yeah its amber flashes only. Any idea what parts may cause that? Looks like the back track is trying to move, it feeds the paper then immediate issues the error. I do not see anything constricting movent and can not figure out how to take it apart further.

    Canon pro 100 11 blinks on power up horrible noice .

    Hi, all. I'm attempting to diag a printer issue here I have not seen before. I'm quite use to the canon pro 100, I have one here working and I do have the software for maintenance mode. This one with the 11 blinks shows that on power up. If I go in to maintenance it blinks 24 times. 11...

    Cannon errors, more in-depth look.

    I was able to finaly find the board to my original printer and the replacement worked. Printer is %100 back to life. If anyone should need help with the 100 Pro do reach out, I learned a lot.

    Cannon errors, more in-depth look.

    Long shot here but curios if anyone knows if it's possible to get the firmware updated. In maintenance mode I can not get to the second step, but if I turn on the printer normally I do. Though after hitting start it kicks out a generic error. I;m guessing because the printer is in an error...

    Cannon errors, more in-depth look.

    "The printer seems to work, what is your problem exactly then ? "-- Oh maybe i confused you? it works in maintenance mode, not in normal mode. You can printer test pages just fine from maintenance mode. Kinda tells me all aspects of the printer are working but hey... but yeah, a programmer...

    Cannon errors, more in-depth look.

    yeah I have the service tool, but is there a eeprom programmer too? Interesting you say this. If I start up the printer in maintenance mode with paper in it, it get stuck. If I start without it does not, and then it prints a test page fine. I'm not sure why it gets stuck with paper in during...

    Cannon errors, more in-depth look.

    Wanting to pick the brain of anyone that knows a bit about Cannon and how they operate. I have 2 Cannon pro 100 printers. 1) My original printer that was turned off and never game back on. 2) a donor printer know to have print head issues. Found a few interesting things that make little...

    Canon pixma 100-pro will not come back to life this time.

    hmm, seller for the board tells me there were two revisions, I wonder if maybe that was part of the problem. If I figure out how to ID them I will note that in here.

    Canon pixma 100-pro will not come back to life this time.

    Ok, thx for that. Also wondering if anyone knows how the errors are cleared? The donor printer had a bad head, this was known, so I get what the b200 but does it clear the error on reset? If not, is there some trick to clearing it. Maybe it is just the error logged from the donor printer, or...

    Canon pixma 100-pro will not come back to life this time.

    Ok good to know, I do have one question though, how can the print head be bad if it printer perfect;y on the test patterns? for one my original printer is QM7-4275 and QM7-4247 but the donor is QM7-1434 and QM4-1938 so no wonder I get errors.

    Canon pixma 100-pro will not come back to life this time.

    I did get the tool, it does lock to a PC machine ID and it only partially works. Many of the unuseful commands work but the ones I think I need give error 002. Like set time. I'm not really sure what I should be doing here but there is some hope. the eeprom shows 9 errors from this donor board...

    Canon pixma 100-pro will not come back to life this time.

    Very interesting. I would only imagine its logged in the eeprom or like chip on the main board. I do have a new one coming so I can test this theory. I'm still confused on how this battery thing works. EEPROM should be preserved but I read there is information kept via a battery on the power...
