Yes, GHWELLSJR, I know you didnt say they would buy any printers, and I didnt say you said this. Sorry for the confusion. I was just adding that info, attributing it to myself, not you. I should open up my own so-called repair facility, quote people $300 to fix them or $35 for this quote, or...

The Canon MP560s are on sale at $60 at Frys until 9-24-10 AND they have copy and scan. So for $3 more I get a totally new unit with more features. Or I might get the brother MFC495CW for $100 at ODP. For $40 less for a Canon, Im leaning towards the Canon. Yes I like the IP3000, but $57 is...

What is the purpose of the black button inside the Canon Pixma IP3000? Its only visible when you remove the top cover. As you are facing the printer, its on the right side, top, about 60% of the way back from the front. It sits next to something that looks like a black barrel. You push down...

This is a wonderful site for textual answers. It seems it would be a great idea for it to also house the service manuals so they can all be found in a central location. I have the Canon IP3000 service manual in PDF format.

Yes, I was looking to use 3rd party ink cartridges. My Canon ip3000 worked for 5 years this way. Now the print head on it is not working, I think not because of bad ink, but because I was using it with some of the colors out of ink.

I didnt take the printers to the repair facility. I called on the phone. GHWELLSJR said, "The Canon repair center in my area will take any printer and provide an estimate to fix it which if you decide is too much, you can let them recycle the printer and there is no charge but if you want the...

Yes, when the print head is inserted, it wont turn on. If removed, it will turn on. I had been using it past when some of the tanks were showing as empty. Perhaps this burnt something out on the print head or clogged something on the print head. Visually, the print head looks fine. What...

I see the replacement print heads for $57 delivered on Ebay in USA.

FYI, I called Canon and they were worthless. They gave me the # to 2 local authorized fix-it centers. 1 was $35 just to take a look. The other was I think $99 or $99 plus $75 for the sheet feeder. I didn't bother to write down the exact details once it was apparent the prices meant they...

1 Canon Pixma IP3000 2 Canon Pixma IP6000d Best to sell on Ebay? Sell as non-working full units, or piece out the parts? I don't believe there is a sales or parts matching forum on nifty-stuff.com

Canon Pixma IP3000 troubleshooting - I get 12 alternating green/orange lights flashing which is this error according to the service manual: 12 times ERROR AP position error [6A00] - SOLUTION Sheet feed unit (QM2-1220) - Logic board ass'y (QM2-1520)*1 The first problem I had was that the...

I think with a broad brush I excluded HP Epson Lexmark etc because the Brothers and Canons were the ones with cheap replacement tanks for $2-3 each on many models. Perhaps that was a mistake IF one wants to refill the cartridges.

No, I never print photos. Im not too excited about refilling ink. If I can buy a new cartridge for $2-3 its fine. Many years ago I tried the ink refilling on an HP. I couldnt get it to work, but then again, maybe I didn't know what I was doing. So that negative ink refilling experience...

Best new All-In-One printers to buy? Brother or Canon? Which models? Where do I find the forum for printer reviews or is it mixed in with the others? My main criteria is cheap ink cartridges and it seems Brother and Canon has these readily available for $2-3 each in generic. Second is...
