The reason I made my post for you is that I sensed some hesitation around e-bay purchase on this type of item. I have purchased several different models from Digital River (Canon ebay) , I am also located in the UK and have found the purchase ,communication , payment, dispatch , (and on 1...

Do not knock "refurb" from the Official Canon seller on e-bay. All the "refurbs" I have seen from this source suggest that the condition is not "secondhand" , but still factory fresh and are described as "refurb" to allow excess (soon to be obsolete) stock to be sold at less than original...

I suspect that the top vent line was blocked within its length with ink (from an overfull sponge?) , you pushing ink into what was a nearly sealed container , your needle was virtually blocking your fill hole, your exit port was "blocked " with ink (pushed there by the pressure) , set up an...

You appear to reside in the UK , which may have some part in deciding which printer and where you purchase it. For me the MP640 would tick all your boxes. Luckily you have access to the Canon re-seller on Ebay , where many of us avail ourselves of their "refurbished" models. Do not be put off by...

I have 3 printers connected to seperate PC`s, MP600 , iP4000 , and iP4200. The 600 is the everyday printer.The 4000 is the oldest , (and the best) , it had its original head replaced about a year ago. I was purchased either in 2004 or 2005 , when they first came out. (I have a spare 4000...

thanks ehuesman, My 600 is my main machine and the only one I did`nt have a manual for , I can almost relax now.!

I am probably stating what is obvious to many , but (for newbies) , if your exact model is not listed , the model number nearest it can often be quite helpful , especially if its just how to gain access to the inside (i.e.the case is similar) , if you have dropped something in there or there is...

ghwellsjr, I agree with your above observations , but it is no longer showing " wrong Cartridge" It is my understanding from reading this thread again that the reason for not powering up is "unknown". The reason for not working fully before was " wrong cartridge" . It would agree that if it...

A reminder warning regarding any canon printer , (that has a seperate print head) that has died in these circumstances , i.e reason " unknown " . Consign the printhead to the trash along with the printer chassis. Do not retain it to "try" in another printer , or you will end up , (very probably)...

I didn`t know you could drink it ???,,,,,.........I just bought it to clean stuff like print heads and electrical contacts......................... I bought a 500ml plastic container from Superdrug in Newbury a couple of years ago, paid 5-6 Label ses :- "Ransom"...

BRILLIANT ! Websnail !...........you really know how to make a guy really Happy ! Thanks for such a prompt and I`m sure a rigorous test...............You can now relax knowing I will have no excuse not to start employing my 520/521 carts. Also that it will cost me some money......! I will have...

The last picture in the sequence and the text at the side of it makes interesting reading...............................and makes you wonder..................... http://www.infento.com/carts/ good luck headphonesman

Pity , I was hoping that my suspicion was correct , now after reading your trials and tribulations with the "wrong batch" of ink in another thread , Im not so sure. This is what i would do, Firstly try printing your test picture at a Standard paper setting , (this will not use the Photo...

Please take this in the spirit that it is intended........can you be absolutely sure that you did not refill with or partially refill with Cyan. It seems like a mistake nobody would make , but I have almost done it on several occasions. As a result I try and keep the refill of Black as a...

Any recommendation on ink , cartridge supplies and obtaining re-setter will depend partly on where you are located. I think the 221/220 are for the USA ? correct me if it is otherwise. If so the Hobbicolors ink is reckoned to be the best you can get and is in the USA. I am not sure where...

Sorry to be a pain.......what exactly do you mean by the pad ? What country is your location ?............... Flush is a liquid for running through the printhead to help clear clogged nozzles. How many months or weeks have you been using the printer with no problem?

Can you get a nozzle check print ok which is perfect except there is no yellow test bar ? What did you clean with alcohol ? Have you got any Flush / Cleaning Fluid ? Have you run any Head Clean Cycles either Deeep or Light ?

Photofan1986 Did you fill this black cart yourself recently?

All of your questions and more have been already answered in previous threads, you should really read up on them a few at a time, and then you will get a good idea of what is going on with putting ink into the various printers . If you want to perform a moderate amount of regular printing ...

It may also help to know exactly what type of failure occurred with the old printhead that led you to replace it , and how this failure was indicated to you? Correction:- have now seen other thread regarding failure......please disregard
