    History of a Canon-Printer-alcoholic

    You posted the question when's the next *fix* on Oct 14th. Today the 15th I got my next *fix*. I bought (again at the same thrift store) a Canon iP4300. Why did I buy it, or maybe a better question would be, how can you justify buying another Canon iP4300. The first three reasons I bought it...

    Does flushing a cart naturally lead to a top fill refill method?

    It looks like my link doesn't go where I thought it should. The hard rubber ball would be used to seal the hole where the plastic ball was taken out of the cartridge. A question about the freedom refill method. Why is there 90 angle from the cartridge to the syringe? Al

    History of a Canon-Printer-alcoholic

    The history of a Canon-Printer-junkie. Ive owned printers before IBM made PCs. But, I will start this story at the time I bought a new Canon MP500 all-in-one on clearance. After buying it and before I installed it, I found the printer could not be refilled unless something was disabled. So...

    I just bought a iP6000D (a six cartridge BCI-6 printer), and I have a iP6600D (a six cartridge CLI-8 printer). Now for the question- Will the CLI-8 cartridges work in the iP6000D (BCI-6) printer? Thank you for all your help. Al

    newer canon 226 carts, caannot view the ink level

    1. Will a 221 cartridge fit a CLI8 printer (MP600)? 2. If it fits, do I need to change the chips? 3. Will a resetter for the CLI-8, reset the 221? Thanks, Al P.S. My guess is yes, yes, no.

    CANON IP4760 got an error .Resume button blinking 5 times

    I don't think "boiling" water would be a good idea, because the boiling water could be too hot for the plastic parts of the printer head. Al

    no printing on mp520 canon pixma

    If you mean that no paper comes out of the printer, I would do the following. 1. Turn off the printer. 2. Unplug the printer from the computer. 3. Turn on the printer. 4. Put paper (normal 8 1/2 by 11) in the two trays. There are two paper sources, a front tray and the back tray. 5. Use...
